MicroCat

MicroCat

MicroCat is designed specifically to enable efficiencies throughout the supply chain by requiring only a three-step process from printing to plating. Manufacturing cost analysis shows significant material and labor savings due to non-noble metal circuitry and reduced steps. The electroless copper conductivity and plating uniformity of the MicroCat process also offers RFID makers greater "read distances" than printed conductive inks.

The Evolution of Additive Circuitry Technology

MicroCat is the low cost, high productivity and performance solution engineered specifically to satisfy the needs of makers of inexpensive circuitry for consumer and industrial goods, and RFID. With MicroCat, the ability to develop advanced circuitry for any application can now be realized.

With a unique catalytic ink that can be printed using any global printing technology, MicroCat is streamlining the traditional printing and plating process down to only three steps, while delivering superior electrical performance at every point.
