Research and development area for next-generation sensor systems – adaptive, modular, easy to network, trustworthy and intelligent. For both production and bioprocesses.
Tabletop system for precise deposition of a variety of functional (including biocompatible) materials onto virtually any surface, including plastic, glass, ceramic and silicon, as well as flexible substrates and thin films.
The microcontact printer combines two processes: a) microcontact printing for printing surface structures up to 100 nanometers in size and b) nano-imprint lithography (NIL) for the realization of tiny 3D structures in polymers.
Printing of both three-dimensional hard plastic parts and soft bio-materials with a single printer. For example, fluidic chips or complex biological tissue, such as vascular systems, can be produced.
