Inkjet printer

The inkjet printer is an Autodrop Gantry II printing system bought in 2020 and installed in PolyFabLab in 2025. It is a modular XYZ positioning platform for contact-less, piezo-driven inkjet dispensing. It drives interchangeable dispenser heads, Autopipettes, or piezo valves rather than a single fixed printhead, and is intended for precision deposition of inks, polymers, and other functional fluids on chips, wafers, and other flat substrates — for process development, prototyping, and small-batch work rather than high-throughput production.
