The Aerosol Jet HD System is designed to address today’s most demanding electronics packaging challenges, including the increasing density of electronic components. The Aerosol Jet HD System is a compact, configurable production platform that can dispense a wide range of electronics materials with features as small as 20 microns. The system can also produce larger features, from hundreds of microns to millimeters in a single pass, and print wide-area conformal coatings from 100 nanometers to tens of microns in thickness.

Optomec is offering a variety of opportunities to learn about the latest breakthroughs in 3D printed electronics and packaging, and interact with technology experts, users and partners. A summary of these opportunities follows:

Optomec Presentations/Features at IPC APEX:

• Tuesday, February 27, at 2:00 p.m.: Media/Press Briefing: "New Product Announcement- Aerosol Jet Printer for Advanced Electronics Packaging” Optomec Executives, Optomec booth #3800.
• Tuesday, February 27, at 3:30 p.m.: Buzz Session: " 3D Printed Electronics Are You Ready to Take Your Company to the Next Dimension?" Mike O’Reilly, Director, Aerosol Jet Products (Hall A)
• Wednesday, February 28, at 10:30 a.m.: "Additive Printing Panel" - Mike O’Reilly, Director, Aerosol Jet Products (Booth 1851 - Sponsored by Global SMT & Packaging
• Throughout the duration of the expo: Live demos of the Optomec Aerosol Jet HD System in booth #3800. The Aerosol Jet HD System is based on Optomec's patented Aerosol Jet technology, a fine-feature material deposition solution used to directly print functional electronic circuitry and components onto low-temperature, non-planar substrates, without the need for masks, screens or subtractive post-processing. Based on the next generation of Optomec’s production-proven Aerosol Jet print engine, coupled with in-line automation, the HD System can handle a variety of substrate sizes and compositions, providing high-resolution printed electronics for today’s most demanding advanced packaging applications such as 3D interconnects, conformal RF/EMI shielding, and precision micro-dispense of insulators and adhesives.
• Examples of functional printed electronics by Optomec customers such as the University of Maryland, and BAE Systems, on display in booth #3800
