Xaar takes part in Futureprint Tech Fest

At this month’s FuturePrint Tech Fest, Xaar will explore the growing role of inkjet in novel industrial applications with a presentation that looks at the use of robotics in direct to shape printing.

At this month’s FuturePrint Tech Fest, Xaar will explore the growing role of inkjet in novel industrial applications

Renzo Trip, principal engineer at Xaar, and Graham Tweedale, general manager of Xaar's printhead business, are among the key contributors to the Tech Fest event held between June 29 and 30, which aims to focus on the successful development and integration of industrial inkjet.

During his seminar on June 30, at 10.00 BST, Renzo will explore the capabilities and challenges of using robotics in inkjet printing. He will present the findings of a series of exacting tests undertaken using Xaar printheads in a variety of challenging scenarios, from inversion to operation in motion, reaffirming Xaar’s assertion that in the world of inkjet, ‘almost anything is possible’.  

On June 29, at 16.00 BST, Graham Tweedale will be discussing the elements needing consideration when looking at inkjet as a potential commercial production technology. He will highlight the importance of fluid testing at the very start of a project and its role in helping to understand whether inkjet is a viable technology for the application under review.
