Nanoscale Depositor System
Model: DMP-2850 | Manufacturer: FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. (USA / Japan)
| Overview
The DMP-2850 by FUJIFILM Dimatix is a precision materials deposition system designed for research and development in inkjet printing and functional materials. It uses piezoelectric inkjet technology to deposit fluidic materials with micro-precision, enabling rapid prototyping, pattern evaluation, and feasibility testing across diverse substrates and fluid chemistries.
| Key Features
Deposition Technology
Piezoelectric Drop-on-Demand Inkjet Printing – The system uses FUJIFILM Dimatix’s proprietary piezoelectric MEMS printhead technology for precise drop-on-demand material deposition. This enables high-resolution, non-contact jetting of fluids onto substrates with excellent control over droplet formation.
Printhead & Ink Delivery
Replaceable Samba MEMS Print Cartridges – User-fillable cartridges support a wide variety of functional fluids, reducing waste and enabling rapid fluid changeover. Each cartridge holds up to ~1.5 ml and ejects droplets using a MEMS actuator for consistent and repeatable printing.
Printable Area & Substrate Handling
Up to ~208 × 308 mm (flat area) with adjustable Z – The vacuum platen accommodates substrates up to 25 mm thickness with adjustable height, enabling printing on thick or non-standard materials. Supports commonly used sizes such as 8×11 in (A4) with stable vacuum fixation.
Resolution & Repeatability
Positioning Repeatability: ± 25 µm – Repeatable motion precision ensures consistent droplet placement and fine pattern definition across prints. This precision supports testing of new fluid formulations, line widths, and micro feature designs.
Vacuum Platen & Temperature Control
Adjustable Vacuum Table to 60 °C – The built-in vacuum platen securely holds substrates during printing, providing stable positioning even for larger formats. Temperature control up to 60 °C aids in drying and improving fluid adhesion during deposition.
Integrated Observation Systems
Drop Watcher & Fiducial Cameras – The Drop Watcher allows real-time visualization and analysis of droplet formation and jetting behavior. The fiducial camera enables accurate substrate alignment and print registration for multi-step processes.
Software & Control
PC-Controlled GUI with Pattern Editor – Intuitive software enables creation and control of complex print patterns, drop parameters, and sequencing. Users can save and batch execute multiple jobs, improving throughput for repetitive experiments.
Materials Compatibility
Wide Range of Functional Fluids – The DMP-2850 supports many water-based, solvent-based, acidic and basic fluids, and other specialty inks. This flexibility supports research in electronics, biosciences, coatings, and prototype manufacturing.
System Footprint & Power
Compact Benchtop Design (~673 × 584 × 419 mm) – The tabletop footprint makes the system suitable for laboratory environments and cleanrooms. It operates on standard AC power and supports broad operating conditions without specialized infrastructure.
Applications
High-precision fluid deposition, printed electronics prototyping, functional material screening, microfluidics, biosensor patterning, thin film research, feasibility testing of inkjet processes.
Ideal for R&D, product development, and rapid prototype generation in academic and industrial settings.
