Optomec expands aerosol jet advanced apps lab and product development facility

ALBUQUERQUE, USA: Optomec Inc. announced the opening of its new and expanded Advanced Applications Lab and Product Development Facility in St. Paul, Minn. The facility signifies the growth and market acceptance of Aerosol Jet technology and is a further commitment by the company to continue its leadership position in developing advanced applications for the Printed Electronics industry.

The new facility is located in the Westgate IV Business Center at 2575 University Ave., Ste. 135, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The building consists of 7600 square feet of office and general laboratory space and will be utilized for both advanced development of Aerosol Jet Printed Electronics Applications and for new product engineering.

Dr. Mike Renn will continue his role as Director of Aerosol Jet Advanced Application Development, and John Lees, recently appointed Director of Aerosol Jet New Product Development, will lead the product engineering team at the new facility. In conjunction with the expansion, Optomec is looking to double its local staff.

Optomec’s Aerosol Jet systems for Printed Electronics utilize a proprietary material deposition process to direct write high resolution electronic circuitry, components and even complete devices on 2D and 3D surfaces. The Aerosol Jet deposition process is highly efficient and supports a wide variety of electronic materials compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing processes.

Aerosol Jet systems can be used to both lower costs and enhance performance of current electronic devices, as well as to enable the creation of next generation products, such as 3D semiconductor packaging, high efficiency solar cells and solid oxide fuel cells.
