Hummink: Redefining printing for next-gen manufacturing
Overview
High Precision Capillary Printing (HPCaP) technology redefines printing at the micron scale by leveraging capillary forces and resonance, eliminating the need for external energy sources such as UV, lasers, or pressure. Inspired by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), HPCaP employs a glass micropipette attached to a macro-resonator oscillating at controlled frequencies. This mechanism enables precise material deposition with resolutions from 50 µm down to 100 nanometers, adapting seamlessly to substrate topography in real time. Unlike conventional inkjet printing; HPCaP relies solely on capillarity, allowing the deposition of a wide range of materials as well
