CERES Print System

CERES is a stand-alone system that prints complex and pure metal objects at the micrometer scale, and with submicrometer resolution. Additionally, 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. Crucially, CERES prints at room temperature, with no post-processing necessary. Its ability to print overhanging parts without any need for support structures is a key differentiator to other metal AM technologies.

Two high-resolution cameras with computer-assisted alignment enable pinpoint-accurate printing, for example printing directly onto integrated electrodes which are pre-defined on a chip surface. The cameras also support automated iontip loading, as well as visualization of the printed structures.
