Digital coating, a droplet-based material deposition method, offers software-defined, high-precision material placement only where the design calls for it. Complex patterns, with no screens, no masks, no contact, overcoming the main limitations of dispensing, screen printing, and spray coating.

But what does a digital coating process look like, how does the Quantica's high-viscosity printhead work? 

What you'll learn in this webinar

  • The fundamentals of digital coating technologies: what this includes, what materials are used, and how it compares to other tooling-based processes
  • The design behind the NovoJet® printhead: how this core technology works and how its droplet-based deposition lays down complex patterns entirely defined in software
  • Inside look at the printing process: material compatibility testing, printing optimization, and application-driven development
  • Relevant applications: adhesives for e-motors, insulation coatings for batteries, protective top coats for window frames
