Projectdetails

Introduction

Although inkjet marking systems are widely used for marking products, factors such as high running costs and low quality of marks are preventing their 100% adoption. The toxicity of inks additionally makes them harmful for the land and water ecosystems.

Limitations of Inkjet Marking

Furthermore, these systems spill tiny droplets of ink while printing, resulting in lower resolution compared to laser printed coding.

Challenges with Conventional Laser Systems

However, conventional laser systems cannot solve all the inkjet marking drawbacks, mainly due to their lower marking speed.

InPhocal's Innovation

InPhocal has developed the world’s first optical system that can be integrated with laser marking systems to increase the focus range of the original laser beam up to 400 times.

Advantages of InPhocal Technology

The laser marking machine integrated with InPhocal technology will provide advantages such as:

  • High marking resolution
  • Higher production rate
  • Printability on curved surfaces

Project Plan

In the EIC project, the InPhocal team plans to:

  1. Miniaturize the device
  2. Conduct pilot trials
  3. Follow up with business development
