Design
Design it with Micropen
Let the experts at Exxelia Micropen help you with your prototype development, fabrication and concept optimization of components and finished devices for all market segments: Medical Devices, Test & Measurement, and Defense, Military and Space.
Innovation
Exxelia Micropen & Ohmcraft specialize in design, engineering and manufacturing of complex products. Through the ability to dispense many different materials and print on a variety of surfaces, the Micropen technology can be tailored to many different, unique, and challenging applications.
Material Formulation
Exxelia Micropen uses off the shelf materials whenever possible to provide the quickest, least expensive path to a solution. With over 30 years of experience with the products of all the major ink and substrate manufacturers. For industry-wide applications that do not have a good off the shelf solution we have developed our own in-house material formulation capability.
Inks: Any liquid material is a candidate for Exxelia Micropen printing. Generally, applications call for flowable materials that range in viscosity from 5 to 500,000 centipoise (cP). A wide variety of printing inks have been identified or developed and optimized for both low temperature, flexible, flat and 3D applications, as well as high temperature ceramics, steels and other materials.
