“The KP400 brings a modern, software-driven approach to conformal coating, giving manufacturers greater control over their processes and better protection for today’s advanced electronic assemblies,” commented Gavin Petersen, responsible for business development at the company.
Unlike traditional spray or molding processes, the KP400 uses advanced 3D printing technology to apply protective coatings with picoliter-level droplet control. Equipped with over 1,000 independently controlled nozzles, the system deposits coating with up to 400 dpi resolution and layer precision as fine as 15 microns. Image recognition software enables real-time area mapping and full-board processing in a single pass, eliminating the need for masking, shielding, or multiple dispensing cycles.
Integrated UV curing ensures immediate hardening of materials, further accelerating production and removing the need for solvent-based post-processing. The solution is also optimized for solvent-free, UV-curable materials that offer excellent thermal resistance, dielectric strength, and mechanical durability.
Designed for efficiency and sustainability, it reduces material waste by as much as one-third by streamlining production workflows and lowering labor requirements. With fewer steps, faster throughput, and easy integration into existing SMT lines, the KP400 supports significant cost savings and improved manufacturing uptime. Its modular print head also enables quick nozzle replacement and simplified maintenance.
