SonoPlot Updates GIX Microplotter II

Dec 1, 2011

SonoPlot, Inc. has announced an update to its top-selling GIX Microplotter II system at the Printed Electronics USA 2011 conference in Santa Clara, CA.

Since its introduction in late 2009, the GIX Microplotter II has provided high-precision microscale printing of a wide range of liquids at an affordable price. It employs controlled ultrasonics to dispense liquids for such applications as printed microcircuitry, rapid prototyping, and biological research.

SonoPlot has completely overhauled the hardware behind the GIX Microplotter II, leading to more precise drawing. Higher resolution motors and improved positioning stages mean that lines and other continuous features are printed smoothly, with sharp edges.

"For two years, the GIX Microplotter II has met the needs of those looking for precise materials printing at a reasonable price," said Brad Larson, Chief Technology Officer of SonoPlot, Inc. "We've now been able to improve the performance of this system while keeping it just as affordable."

SonoPlot Releases Next Generation Software and Hardware Plotting Platform

Aug 1, 2009

SonoPlot, Inc. today announced that it has significantly upgraded its Microplotter hardware and software platform for better performance and additional versatility.

SonoPlot’s GIX Microplotter instruments use innovative controlled ultrasonics to print microcircuitry or deposit high-density grids of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins or living cells. The products are designed to print a wide range of biomolecules and polymers and push beyond the limits of existing technologies for printing smaller, more consistent and well-shaped spots, lines and arcs.

Some of the enhancements include a high definition camera for visual inspection and recording, an upgraded control computer for better performance, and upgraded software functionality which allows the users to very quickly draw and print designs to their specifications.

“The enhancements to our platform provide our users with ability to deposit inks and biomaterials not possible with other units”, stated Brad Larson, SonoPlot’s CTO. “We strongly believe in continually updating our products to meet the demanding needs of these growing markets.”
