Design Engineer, Xaar
Xaar manufactures cutting edge inkjet heads. In particular, they are leaders in printing direct to fabric and on ceramics.
I was part of a team developing the latest ‘thin film’ inkjet print-heads for the industrial printing of fabric. I designed precision plastic mouldings that fed ink to the MEMS inkjet actuator (analogous to a mechanical silicon chip). A highlight included using the latest advanced materials (e.g. ceramics, filled liquid crystal polymer) and advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g. 5axis precision laser cutting). (solidworks)
