FUJIFILM Dimatix ships 5,000th materials cartridge

Nov. 20, 2006 — FUJIFILM Dimatix Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., announced it has shipped more than 5,000 Dimatix Materials Cartridges to customers in the first year of production of its Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) systems.

The cartridges are a key component of the DMP, which is used by developers of printable functional fluids and engineering groups to investigate unique new approaches to RFID, printable electronics, photovoltaics, biotechnology applications and other technologies.

The DMP is a bench-top precision digital materials deposition system for high-precision jetting of all kinds of functional fluids on any type of surface, including plastic, glass, metal sheets, silicon, membranes, gels, thin films and paper.

It uses a monolithic silicon-based MEMS structure to create a low-cost, 16-jet cartridge for precise, high-speed materials jetting and is intended to be a turnkey system for quickly developing and testing processes and prototypes, as well as conducting low-volume manufacturing of a broad range of products — from flexible circuits, RFID tags and displays to DNA arrays, optical lenses and wearable electronics.
