We make Digital Printed Electronics and Smart 3D Printing easier worldwide
CeraPrinter F-Serie is All-in-one State-of-the-art Digital Materials Deposition Platform for process development in Printed Electronics and Smart 3D Printing. In addition to all the CeraPrinter advantages, F-Serie is a hybrid materials deposition platform combining Inkjet and Aerosol Jet® technologies. Its single user-friendly software opens the way to study hybrid process inaccessible by Inkjet or Aerosol Jet® separately. Defined as a modular-based scalable technology able to easily integrate several post-processes in-line at lowest cost, on minimum of footprint, with more capabilities, CeraPrinter F-Serie just enables you to succeed.
