One of the founding ideas of Notion Systems was to replace the current subtractive process chains with additive process steps in electronics manufacturing. The n.jet inkjet platform is used to produce electronic displays, printed circuit boards, semiconductor components, as well as high precision optical 3D parts, covering the full range of solutions from lab to fab. Main inkjet applications are coating, dispensing or patterning. Patterning can easily be done with inkjet printing, as it is a digital printing process with drop-on-demand functionalities. Depending on the print head and the material used, resolutions of 20μm are possible. Even though this is an interesting technology for any industries, there are limitations with this technology for certain display or semiconductor applications. For this reason, Notion Systems has invested in a collaboration with Scrona AG of Switzerland, which has developed an EHD printing technology for additive manufacturing of technical components at the submicron scale.
