HELIOSONIC PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

CREATES NEW POTENTIAL

FOR INDUSTRIAL DIGITAL PRINTING

AND SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES

THE USE OF RESOURCES.

The demand placed on industrial printing are growing. For example, products are being designed more individually and technical guidelines or framework conditions are being worked out in greater detail.
Thus efficient flexible, and adaptable solutions are needed to meet customer requirements.

HELIOSONIC printing technology consisting of a print head and printing material, combines these requirements in one technology, enabling our customers to achieve growth and savings potential.

Technology

  • LIFT (Laser-Induced Forward Transfer) is a process enabling digital non-contact deposition
  • Laser beam energy transfers material from a carrier layer onto a substrate
  • Nozzle free
  • Multiple “wet-on-wet” printing possible
  • Endless format printing

Printing the Unprintable

  • Large particles/ special pigments
  • High pigment loading possible
  • High viscosities
  • High gloss
  • High adhesion
  • High scratch resistance

Functional Ink

  • Electrically conductive (silver, copper, …)
  • Thermally conductive (metal/ carbon based)
  • Dielectric, thermochromic, biological, …

Funktional Materials

  • Metal (aluminum, stainless steel, titanium,…)
  • Ceramic (dental, electrical insulator, glass,…)
