NovoJet OPEN
An inkjet-based benchtop printer with the unique capability to combine high viscosity materials.
Unlock New Possibilities in Additive Manufacturing
This isn't merely a printer; it's a gateway to the uncharted territories of material exploration. With the NovoJet OPEN, researchers can unleash their creativity by experimenting with their own material combinations, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in 3D printing.
NOVOjet OPEN
An open printer for application R&D
The NovoJet OPEN is a multi-material benchtop printer for application research and development. It enables research institutes and industrial labs to utilize ultra-high viscosity jetting technology. This system can combine up to 7 different materials in a single process, allowing for the exploration of diverse material combinations. Researchers also have the freedom and flexibility to adjust jetting and printing parameters for optimal results.
