Introducing ARM
Create metal layers as simply
Create metal layers as simply
as using an airbrush
Metallize almost any substrate, at room conditions, in an instant.
All this without generating chemical waste or requiring high CapEx equipment.
What is ARM?
ARM stands for Ambient Rapid Metallization, a new metallization process developed by the scientists at OrelTech. A fusion between an aerosol jet printer and localized plasma jet technology, this one of a kind technology allows you to easily deposit and cure a wide range precious metals (Ag, Au, Pt and Pd) onto virtually any surface, all in room conditions, instantly.
Better yet, no additional post-treatment is required.
Coating and metalizing technologies abound.
What makes ARM different?
-
Coating of complex substrates made easy
Since ARM works much like conventional aerosol deposition, it excels on complex surfaces such as ridges and steps.
Even meshes and membranes can be done in a single pass.
-
Leave the vacuum for space, metalize at room conditions
ARM doesn't require any extraneous set up. With an ARM powered table-top system and OrelTech inks you're ready to go.
No vacuum, no clean room.
-
Coating at breakneck speeds
ARM creates metal layers in seconds. The unique combination of OrelTech's ATMOS inks makes this happen.
-
Control where you deposit and avoid material waste
OrelTech ARM system is composed of a nozzle that combines localized plasma jet and aerosol stream moves much like an airbrush. This gives you choose where to deposit material on the substrate and how much.
How does ARM work?
The core of ARM lies in OrelTech’s plasma-based metallization process and operates on three simultaneous processes:
-
1
Metal containing precursors are decomposed by the plasma and reduced to a pure metallic state. Instantaneously.
-
2
Accompanying solvents are also decomposed and evacuated with the working gas flow.
-
3
Pure metal entities, due to their high concentration, assemble into crystalline structures, forming polycrystalline networks and films that bond to the substrate via physisorption or metal bonding.
