MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS

Composites
Markforged composite printers use a base plastic matrix reinforced with continuous fibers. Combining the materials during printing
yields composite parts far stronger, stiffer, and more robust than conventional 3D printed plastics.

Plastic Matrix                                                                                       Fiber Reinforcement
In Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), a printer heats thermoplastic filament to                       Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is proprietary technology that reinforces
near melting point and extrudes it through its nozzle, building a plastic matrix                     plastic printed parts with continuous fibers on each layer of a part. Users can
layer by layer. Plastics can be reinforced by any one type of fiber.                                 control the layers reinforced, amount, orientation, and type of reinforcing fiber.

The LENS Process
 LENS systems use a high-power laser together with pow-
 dered metals to build fully dense structures directly from a
 3D CAD solid model. The CAD model is automatically sliced
 into a tool-path, which instructs the LENS machine how to
 build the part. The part is constructed layer by layer under
 the control of software that monitors a variety of param-
 eters to ensure geometric and mechanical integrity.

From printed 3D Interconnects and RDLs, to embedded passives and fine feature attach, the HD Series in-line high density
deposition system is a flexible platform that meets today’s most demanding application challenges.

PRINTED 3D INTERCONNECTS
Direct printing of conformal 3D interconnects as an alternative to
wire-bonding provides wide-ranging benefits, including smaller
footprint, lower package height, reduced crosstalk and improved
mechanical reliability. The Aerosol Jet solution can produce inter-
connect traces as narrow as 25-micron to support pad pitches
down to 50-micron, and the solution is applicable to direct die
attach and die stack applications, ie: combining dedicated mem-
ory with processor.

                                                               COMPONENT AND DIE ATTACH
                                                               With its unique ability to print fine features with high viscosity
                                                               inks, the Aerosol Jet HD platform can produce high resolution ad-
                                                               hesive pads with features as small as 25-micron. This supports
                                                               conductive attach of today’s smallest die and components, with-
                                                               out the need for manual re-work, increasing overall throughput
                                                               and eliminating wasteful end-of-line clean-up steps.

PRINTED DIELECTRICS, INSULATORS AND ADHESIVES
In addition to conductive materials, the Aerosol Jet HD platform performs high resolu-
tion printing of a wide range of common non-conductive electronics materials. Appli-
cations include MEMS bonding, seal rings, local passivation, and insulative overcoats.
When coupled with conductor printing, the system can produce high density cross-
over and multi-layer circuitry.

                                        CHIP AND BOARD LEVEL SHIELDING APPLICATIONS
                                        The Aerosol Jet HD platform can produce precision conformal coatings on non-planar sur-
                                        faces, enabling chip and board level EMI shielding as required by today’s mobile devic-
                                        es. Larger nozzles enable single-pass printing of coatings measuring from millimeters
                                        to centimeters in width, while maintaining uniform layer thickness from 100nm to 10’s
                                        of microns. This capability, along with the HD’s fine feature printing and edge coatings of
                                        complex packages, mean that selective exposure to contacts and ground planes are now
                                                                   35
