The Institute for Printing (iPrint) has announced expansion to new premises.

In its second move in two years, the iPrint Institute has outgrown the incubation space at blueFactory and has moved into 1200 m2 of lab space at the Marly Innovation Centre.

The iPrint Institute now has a commanding position in industry led applied research and training in the field of inkjet. Not limited to graphical printing, the iPrint Institute also leads projects in the functional print areas of additive manufacturing, biomedical and printed electronics.

The new premises now house some €4 million of dedicated printer platforms and high value laboratory analytical equipment. The 25 permanent staff are augmented by several students studying for their master theses.

Within the new facilities is a permanent Inkjet Training Centre offering courses to participants from a wide range of markets and industrial sectors.

iPrint contributes significantly to technological innovation in terms of processes and methods, instrumental development and advanced materials. The institute is part of the University of Applies Sciences of Western Switzerland.
