Optomec announced today that the company has won the IDTechEx Technical Development Manufacturing Award for their M3D Aerosol Jet Deposition System that will be used for high volume printing of collector lines on solar cells. The M3D system is a fine feature, non-contact printed electronics solution for solar cell manufacturers that can print narrower lines with higher yields.

Dave Ramahi, president and CEO of Optomec states “We are honored to be recognized for our development of a printed electronics manufacturing system for the production of higher efficiency solar cells. We believe that Solar Cell manufacturing is just the first of many printed electronic applications where Optomec’s M3D Aerosol Jet solution will provide breakthrough production capabilities.”

The Printed Electronics Awards are hosted by IDTechEx, a leader in providing independent global research and analysis on the development and application of printed and potentially printed electronics.

Dr. Peter Harrop, IdTechEx chairman, states that, “The judges were impressed by the many advantages that the Optomec process has over ink jet printing, which is currently the preferred process for printed electronics.” The awards recognize company innovation, success and development. Winners were announced on Nov. 13 at the Printed Electronics USA conference in San Francisco.
