Printheads

Inkjet, bio-printing, and microdispensing applications rely on fluidic channels and nozzles with highly reproducible geometries.

Precision dispensing requires micro-nozzles with exact tolerances and long-term durability. Our technology fabricates clog-resistant, chemically resistant microchannels directly in glass.

We solve:

• Swelling or deformation of polymer channels
• Variability in nozzle geometry due to multi-step processing
• Difficulties with high-temperature or aggressive fluids

You gain:

• Monolithic multi-nozzle arrays with sub-micron tolerances
• Long-term reliability under high thermal loads
• Compatible solutions for inks, reagents, and biologics
• Multilayer geometries
• Ultra-fine apertures (down to microns) for precise droplet control.
• Chemical inertness for compatibility with aggressive inks and solvents.
• High thermal stability for consistent performance

Applications of glass microfluidic printheads

Precision glass microchannels enable printheads for bioprinting, high-resolution material deposition, inkjet and microdispensing systems, where droplet consistency, chemical resistance and clog-free operation are critical.

Frequently asked questions

Why use glass for printhead microchannels?
Glass offers tight dimensional tolerances, chemical inertness and smooth internal surfaces, delivering consistent droplet formation and long service life for demanding fluids.

What channel geometries are possible?
Femtosecond-laser processing creates true 3D buried microchannels, nozzles and reservoirs in a single monolithic glass part, reducing assembly and leakage risk.
