Dimatix Materials Printer DMP-2850 S - Overview

FUJIFILM Dimatix leveraged its piezoelectric inkjet technology and MEMS expertise to develop the Dimatix Materials Printer (DMP) for research purposes. The DMP-2850 S is an enhanced, user-friendly, and cost-effective system that leverages the original DMP-2850’s capabilities.

New features in the DMP-2850 S
  • Hardware improvements including the computer, encoders, and thermal platen
  • New software features including drop analysis in drop watcher mode and print job creation for batch printing

Printer In Action

The DMP-2850 S allows for the deposition of fluidic materials on an 8x11 inch or A4 substrate, utilizing a disposable piezo inkjet cartridge. This printer can create and define patterns over an area of about 200 x 300 mm and handle substrates up to 25 mm thick with an adjustable Z height. The temperature of the vacuum platen, which secures the substrate in place, can be adjusted up to 60°C. The DMP-2850 S offers a variety of patterns using a pattern editor program. Additionally, a waveform editor and a drop-watch camera system allow manipulation of the electronic pulses to the piezo jetting device for optimization of the drop characteristics as it is ejected from the nozzle. This system enables easy printing of structures and samples for process verification and prototype creation.

Drop Watcher camera features
  • Evaluate drop formation from each nozzle using the integrated drop watcher
  • Use the new drop analysis software to develop a waveform to meet the intended outputs
  • Measure drop velocity and size
  • Capture outputs in a photo montage to directly compare conditions
Print Job and Batch printing:
  • Save all settings associated with a specific print job into one file
  • Print multiple jobs at once using the batch printing feature

The most unique feature of this table top printing system is the printhead itself - a world first! FUJIFILM Dimatix has created a MEMS-based cartridge-style printhead that allows users to fill their own fluids and print immediately with the DMP in their own laboratory. To minimize waste of expensive fluids, each cartridge reservoir has a capacity of 1.5 ml. Cartridges can easily be replaced to facilitate printing of a series of fluids.
