USDC Awards Optomec Contract to Develop Novel Printing Technology for Printable Electronics

About Optomec
Optomec is the leading provider of additive manufacturing systems for high-performance applications in the Electronics, Biomedical, and Aerospace & Defense markets with over 60 systems installed world-wide. These systems utilize Optomec’s proprietary M3D Aerosol Jet technology and LENS powder-metal fabrication technology. The M3D Aerosol Jet system utilizes an innovative aerodynamic focusing technology that enables printing of electronic or biologic materials with feature sizes down to 10 microns and layer thicknesses down to 5 nanometers. The M3D system supports a wide variety of materials including nanoparticle inks and screen-printing pastes, conductive polymers, insulators, adhesives, and even biological matter that can be accurately deposited at room temperature onto a wide range of planar and non-planar substrates. These capabilities make M3D a breakthrough technology for many printing applications including fuel cells, solar cells, molded interconnected devices, high throughput screening and more. Recently, M3D was awarded the Best New Manufacturing Technology for the production of high efficiency solar cells. More information about Optomec can be found at www.optomec.com .
