…and assembly equipment. The Aerosol Jet solution works by precision jetting or “printing” an extremely fine mist of nanoparticle-based inks onto a surface. The HD2 can print features as narrow as 10 microns with placement accuracy under 5 microns. The nanoparticles are then sintered together, forming a solid metal conductor of copper, gold or silver. Insulating and adhesive materials can also be applied by the Aerosol Jet process with various integrated circuit packaging dielectric materials. As a primary application, the Aerosol Jet HD2 can serve as a drop-in replacement for the method of connecting electrical components with wire bonds, which…

…double the production capacity, once again relying on the quality of the HP systems, which are capable of offering precision, repeatability and maximum rate even for series of thousands of pieces. This solution enables the automation of the process of removing dust from molded parts. It is a process that was previously carried out manually by operators, which represented a waste of time and resources. In addition, the automatic unpacking system developed by HP allows Weerg to recover more of the dust that can be returned to the systems with considerable advantages in terms of eco-sustainability.
