The forefront of

material research

Slot-die coating has seen a great increase in lab-scale R&D applications in recent years, as researchers strive for more consistent experimental results and rapid scaling of new additive manufacturing processes to roll-to-roll and sheet-to-sheet production. As a result, FOM Technologies coating equipment is now supporting cutting-edge research into 3rd generation solar cells, OLED and electrochromic devices, fuel cells, batteries, sensors, membranes, printed electronics, conductive thin films, and much more.

“I’ve been working with FOM since the company’s early beginnings in 2012. Our relationship has evolved into more than just a customer/client relationship. We are running 3 machines from FOM’s portfolio, from small-scale lab tools to large area production machines. They’re still in daily operation and play a key role in where our company is today.”
