As part of the fabrication and nano materials theme of the Right Trousers project we will be using the Toucan 6-head ink jet printing system at the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Additive Manufacturing, based at Nottingham. The Toucan is capable of printing a up to six different functional materials (including materials for circuit tracks, electronic components and active structures) in one go. For more information on the Toucan system see the Centre’s lab page.
Here are a couple of pictures of the jetting system:
