SLOT-DIE COAT

WITH EXPERTS

 Book a coating training with our experts

We have partnered with renowned institutions worldwide to offer access to state-of-the-art training facilities. Our slot-die coating workshops provide an immersive, hands-on introduction to every aspect of precise, continuous, and scalable thin-film production, empowering new users to build a solid foundation in slot-die technology. On the other hand, people with more coating experience can refine their techniques, address knowledge gaps, and tackle their most pressing challenges in collaboration with our world-class instructors during these training sessions.

“Two days at a FOM Technologies workshop clearly demonstrated the value of slot die coating in rapid iteration and upscaling of solution processed thin film devices. The WCET facilities were excellent, the program was flexible and the guidance I received was spot-on. It significantly accelerated and substantiated my understanding of the slot die coating process.

I left the workshop with tangible benefits for our process and a better understanding of how to move forward in our large-area coating and testing.”
