SMART PRINT AND THE FUTURE OF THE ENGAGEMENT

Breakthrough of industrial inkjet printing

Peter Buttiens13 September 2017

ESMA: CONNECTING THE DOTS IN THE INDUSTRY

2

BEYOND COLOR AND GRAPHICS PRINTING?

Using traditional printing as a kind of 3D Printing (2D & 2.5D)

Deposition of fluids and Materials

Combining with color graphics or traditional applications

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL PRINTING IN A SMART WAY?

Smart industrial printing is:

• Print as a process (= manufacturing step) and not really print as a product (like a banner)• Can be high volume and low cost (label) or low volume and high cost (watch face)• Could be part of a product and has no value on its own (antenna)• Could be functional print (antennas, batteries, contacts,…)• Could be industrial decoration (marking, coding, …)• Could be packaging decoration (bottles, jars, …)• Could be bio-medical, electronics, interior decoration, …

Who? Industrial printing is more done by specialised service partners.

Why? Industrial printing is optimising production (time, cost and possibilities)

Industrial Inkjet brings new possibilites of mass customisation

BIO MEDICAL PRINTING

Diagnostic kits:

• Healthcare- Pharmaceutical industry looks for quick, cheap ways to detect potential diseases• Typically sold as over the counter (OTC) products (cfr pregency tests)• Accurate detection based on blood, saliva, sweat, urine…• Combination of:

• microfluid systems• Printed Electronics• Functional Printing
