Mouvent, a new digital textile printing solutions provider, founded by a joint venture between inkjet technology specialists Bobst and Radex, has confirmed that it is using 3D printing technology to create a major share of the parts that make up its cluster printhead technology. The use of 3D printing technology is enabling greater flexibility in printer design and construction, the company said, and the Mouvent Cluster rejects the need for fixed-size print bars by colour, arranging them in a modular, scalable matrix. The 3D printed parts are made from a ceramic material mixed with a resin and are composed by a machine that is able to produce up to 10,000 heads a year. The result is an overall system that can be simply adapted for all substrates, of all widths, for all markets.
