Capabilities include:

• Develop functionalized surfaces enabling applications such as printed, flexible and in-mold electronics.
• R&D scale high-speed (5 m/s) multi-layer registration (<10 microns) gravure printer (GT+W SuperProofer) that is sheet-to-sheet compatible (hard and flexible substrates), and a swap-out flexographic capability.
• Proofing coaters and patterned printers (K Proofing Printer and RK Control Coater).
• Harper QD proofing platform capable of flexographic, gravure, and offset printing.
• Dimatix Materials ink jet printer and nScrypt precision micro-dispenser.
• Epilog Fusion M2 Laser Cutter for subtractive patterning and annealing, (printed) line edge finishing, and substrate shaping.
• Voltera V-1 for printed circuit board prototyping and manufacture.
• Keyence 3-axis UV laser marker for high resolution (materials agnostic), marking, printing, patterning and cutting.
