Active Mixing and Depositing/Patterning of Materials
The need to dynamically produce heterogeneous polymer formulations exists in industrial, electronic and biomedical applications. By enabling dynamic formulation, polymer material composition may be optimized for each application or within one application. However, the passive approach doesn’t give satisfying results especially for high viscosity material. nScrypt has developed a computer controlled active mixing tool integrated on a (x, y, z) motion platform, which can mix up to three materials in any ratio. This tool is capable of handling a wide range of materials including particle containing materials. The material to be mixed can be in any amount and any rate including controlled gradients over the whole pattern. Multiple heads including smart pump, spray, laser machining can be added to the platform. This presentation will demonstrate active mixing as well as the dispensing capability of nScrypt systems.

The development of functional and reliable miniaturized devices including Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) has stressed the manufacturing and packaging processes. The traditional micro fabrication techniques, such as lithography, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and etching, are layer-by-layer processes and mostly suitable for thin-filmed devices. LIGA (an acronym from German words for lithography, electroplating, and molding) is a newly developed process for thick metallic devices; however, it involves electroplating process and high quality molds, which are hard to move after electroforming...

Numerous solid freeform fabrication (SFF) or rapid prototyping (RP) techniques have been employed in the field of tissue engineering to fabricate specially organized three- dimensional (3-D) structures such as scaffolds. Some such technologies include, but are not limited to, laminated object manufacturing (LOM), three-dimensional printing (3-DP) or ink-jet printing, selective laser sintering (SLS), and fused deposition modeling (FDM). These techniques are capable of rapidly producing highly complex 3-D scaffolds or other biomedical structures with the aid of a computer-aided design (CAD) system. However, they suffer from lack of consistency and repeatability, since most of these processes are not fully controlled and cannot reproduce the previous work with accuracy...

The trend for the electronics industry to develop more functional, smarter and more compact devices has stressed the traditional manufacturing and packaging processes including the printing/dispensing technology. The traditional printing technique (e.g. time-pressure needle dispensing, screen printing, pin transfer and jetting) each has their own disadvantages in terms of dimensionality, accuracy, repeatability, flexibility and consistency, which have become the bottle neck of the industry...
