Aerosol Jet Printers Operator & Technician Training
Offered by Pertecnica Engineering
Aerosol Jet Printers are advanced additive manufacturing systems used for printing fine electronic circuits, sensors, and functional materials onto a wide range of substrates. These machines atomize liquid inks into micro-droplets and precisely deposit them through a focused aerosol stream, enabling high-resolution printing on flat, curved, and irregular surfaces. Aerosol jet printing is widely used in printed electronics, microelectronics, and advanced manufacturing applications.
In modern industry, aerosol jet technology is transforming how electronic components and circuits are fabricated, offering flexibility, precision, and reduced material wastage. Skilled operators and technicians are essential to manage ink properties, deposition parameters, and machine calibration. This training program focuses on practical, hands-on learning to equip participants with industry-relevant skills in aerosol jet printing operations.
