Added Scientific inkjet

Inkjet & material jetting

Inkjet and material jetting are core strengths at Added. We support the development of new inks, jetting strategies and hardware platforms for research and early‑stage product development.

Materials development

  • Identification of suitable off the shelf inks or resins
  • Formulation and development of novel inks and resins (including particle loading)
  • Rapid evaluation and characterisation (rheology, droplet analysis, particle size analysis)
  • Initial mechanical and chemical characterisation of processed materials.

Processing

  • Waveform development
  • Print strategy and software development
  • Optimisation of ink/substrate interactions
  • Environmental control
  • Development of UV, thermal and reactive curing methods
  • Post processing development.

Hardware

  • Selection and compatibility testing of printheads and ink systems
  • Design and development of bespoke jetting systems
  • Modified PixDro LP50 platforms (multi printhead, small volume binder stage)
  • Entry level jetting research rigs.
