Functional Inkjet 101: A Digital Solution for Industrial-Scale Manufacturing

Ben Hartkopp

In today's world, adopting modern and digital manufacturing methods is more crucial than ever. Inkjet technology stands out as a transformative innovation capable of revolutionizing traditional analog, labor-intensive, and wasteful manufacturing processes. Inkjet's core strength lies in the ability to control the placement of individual droplets, offering new production freedom. Until now, this potential has been limited by the materials that could be used, but Quantica is changing that. In this webinar, Quantica founder Ben Hartkopp dives into functional inkjet, revealing how Quantica's advanced technology is capable of jetting high-viscosity materials unattainable until now, and what this means for the manufacturing industry.

Key takeaways:

  • What Functional Inkjet is and how it differs from conventional inkjet
  • How Quantica breaks the material limits of traditional printing
  • Applications: printed electronics, industrial coatings, adhesives
  • 30-minute presentation plus Q&A

Overview

Functional Inkjet is a fully digital deposition method. It creates detailed structures by jetting droplets of material onto a substrate — replacing analog manufacturing processes like screen printing with digital precision and zero tooling change-over.

Quantica's technology removes the material ceiling. Founder Ben Hartkopp explains how the company's printhead architecture enables jetting of high-viscosity materials with properties like toughness, rigidity, temperature resistance, conductivity, and chemical resistance — well beyond the reach of conventional inkjet.

Applications span the industries inkjet has historically struggled to serve. Printed electronics, industrial coatings, and adhesives all benefit from Functional Inkjet's combination of digital control, material flexibility, and waste reduction. The session is a 30-minute presentation followed by Q&A.
