Fujifilm Dimatix Launches the DMP-2850 S Materials Printer

Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc., a leading global manufacturer and supplier of piezoelectric, drop-on-demand industrial inkjet printheads, announced the launch of its new Dimatix Material Printer DMP-2850 S (DMP-2850 S).

The DMP-2850 S materials printer is an upgraded and enhanced version of the inkjet deposition research platform, the DMP-2850, designed for use by researchers and universities.

Designed as a benchtop materials deposition system designed for micro-precision jetting for a variety of functional fluids for virtually any surface, including plastic, glass, ceramics, and silicon, as well as flexible substrates from membranes, gels, and thin films to paper products. 

The DMP-2850 S boasts improved software features from its previous model, including drop analysis which helps developers optimize print head settings, waveform designs for precise ejection of ink droplets, and ink formulations to achieve desired print quality without needing expert knowledge in utilizing a drop watcher and developing a waveform. 

The new print job feature allows users to save all settings associated with a particular job and allows for batching multiple jobs within a run. The new printer supports multiple file types, including BMP, JPEG, TIF, and PNG. 

Hardware improvements to its built-in computer include a more powerful CPU, dual USB ports for data transfer, ample storage for print jobs, and data needed during the printing process. This integrated computer runs on Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

The DMP-2850 S materials printer features Fujifilm Dimatix’s Samba(R) based print cartridge, which leverages the company’s renowned Silicon MEMS (Si-MEMS) processing with sputtered PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) for consistent, precise and high-quality printing.

 The system supports precision jetting for a wide range of functional fluids, including UV, aqueous, solvent, acidic, and basic fluids.

“Universities and R&D teams greatly benefit from a complete platform that can offer precision printing of materials, jetting analysis, and fluid development, as it allows users to rapidly produce new prototype designs, reduce costs and lead times, and accelerate the innovation process,” said Steve Billow, president and chief executive officer, Fujifilm Dimatix.
