ULTRA-PRECISE
PRINTING SYSTEM

CERES


CERES is a stand-alone system that prints complex and pure metal objects at the micrometer scale with a submicrometer resolution. As a side function, it writes patterns with liquids and nanoparticles that can be made of different materials.

CERES combines nanometer-accurate positioning, air pressure-driven liquid dispensing, electrochemical deposition and optical force feedback. The state-of-the-art system is operated by our CAPA software, which has an intuitive graphical user interface and seamlessly connects all parts of the system.

Two high-resolution cameras (top and bottom view) for computer-assisted alignment enables pinpoint-accurate printing, for example to directly print onto integrated electrodes that are pre-defined on a chip surface. The cameras also support automated iontip loading as well as visualization of the printed structures.
