About

The Nordson EFD system is a multifunctional deposition tool for inks and paste over a wide viscosity range.

Description

The Nordson EFD system is equipped with a state of the art dispensing employing compressed air. Additional Jetting capability allow to deposit smaller amount of material. The 2D stage allow to provide digital printing of a variety of materials.  The setup is capable to deposit inks and pasts of a large range of viscosities. As such large amount of deposit can be achieve so large thicknesses can be obtained easily.

Case study:

A user wants to realize a tactile switch on a PET foil. After depositing a thin force node using functional printing, a brail layer is deposited using the dispensing. This results in a dome like structure of several hundreds of µm. Such a layer thickness results in a good user experience on the switching process.
