Course Focus
IMI’s Industrial Inkjet System Design Course provides an essential grounding in inkjet technologies and the possibilities for the use of inkjet in industrial applications. The course then progresses with a step-by-step proven process to help research, development, product management, and executive personnel understand how inkjet can be a beneficial process in a multi-step manufacturing line; connecting the dots between an initial idea, to feasibility studies, to development engineering, system design, and ultimately to production line implementation.
Inkjet has the potential to be used in a vast variety of markets and applications, in the industrial manufacturing space including 3D printing, direct-to-shape, automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, electronics, consumer goods, medical, pharmaceutical, textile as well as numerous other applications. This Industrial Inkjet System Design Course will explore how to set up a successful development program to assess, develop and implement an inkjet system for a specific end use. Factors including process, flow, speed, substrate, print quality, ink type, pre and post print necessities, curing and user interfaces are just a few examples of the covered considerations that are pertinent to an industrial inkjet system design.
Since there are, commonly, no off-the-shelf print systems that a manufacturing company can simply review and buy, it is up to users to decide for themselves whether inkjet technology is a fit for them technically, economically, and for process productivity. It is also up to them to specify, build, test, and implement a system. Thus, it is highly important to have a preliminary understanding of inkjet and an ability to ask the right questions when creating an industrial system design as well as understanding the challenges of using inkjet in a manufacturing environment.
The future possibilities of inkjet technology are expansive, and exciting! IMI’s Industrial Ink Jet System Design Course, led by Dr. Rich Baker, President of Integrity Ink Jet Integration provides guidance and practical experience to people considering using inkjet as an industrial manufacturing process.
