adphos launches new aLITE-Technology at drupa 2016

aLITE is based on an area-focused, high intensity energy source, to allow instantaneous thermal processing. Thus water based or solvent-based coatings can be instantly dried or even cured, which is a mandatory requirement to overcome the present application barriers to coating applications in direct to shape printing.

Today these applications are typically performed by integration of label-printed solutions into the industrial production process. aLITE also allows in line drying and sintering of functional coatings applied by inkjet or aerosol, as necessary, for cost competitive production of 3D components.
