The vision of the GSI’s Functional Printing Division is to “Be a leading specialty manufacturing service provider by leveraging printing as a core technology to produce devices with unique fit, form, and function.” We will partner with our customers to bring products out of the laboratory through pilot volumes and ultimately to full scale manufacturing. We have core competencies in the development and production of functional printing products.
Functional printing is the deposition of a printable material that delivers an active or passive functionality beyond traditional graphics media. The resulting product will have unique fit, form and function with possible component layers to control conductivity, resistivity, insulating properties, fluid dynamics, or chemical processes. Functional printing enables the benefits of printed electronics.
Functional Printing delivers the scale & economics of printing, the function of electrical/electronics all within unique form factors: thin, laminar & flexible.
GSI practices a “Lab to Fab” model, contributing development resources at cost to strategic partners in exchange for first right of commercial production. Working together as partners, we will take your product off the laboratory bench into full production.
Material suppliers that bring opportunities to GSI are given the commitment to supply, assuming continuous technical, economic, and customer approval.
The Functional Printing Division has the assets, personnel and experience to help our customers go from “Lab to Fab” efficiently and successfully. More than 100 years of collective experience in functional printing manufacturing. Commercially produced: disposable medical diagnostics, electroluminescent (EL) lamps, antennas, and circuit assembly products.
GSI process equipment can handle a large variety of substrate and conductive materials, including synthetics and natural products, in both sheet and web format.
A reputation for being the partner of choice for our material suppliers, industry colleagues and customers due to our competence and integrity.
We have the knowledge and equipment to help you at every stage of manufacturing, from designing prototypes all the way to global scale production. In many cases, we can even improve your time to market.
