FononTech

FononTech B.V., based in Eindhoven, operates in the high-tech manufacturing sector, specializing in advanced printing technology. The company has developed a unique method for creating complex 3D interconnects and high-resolution patterns using a lithographic process. This process allows for the rapid transfer of intricate designs onto various substrates (the base material on which the pattern is printed) with micron-sized precision.

FononTech's technology is particularly notable for its ability to perform local alignment between the pattern and the substrate through selective heating. This capability is enhanced by a flat heater plate and a stencil print process, which can produce larger features within the same machine. The company's innovative approach enables the printing of complete patterns all at once, opening up new possibilities for applications that were previously unattainable.

The company serves a diverse range of clients, including research institutions, electronics manufacturers, and other high-tech industries that require precise and complex patterning capabilities. FononTech operates in the global market, with a focus on sectors that demand high-resolution and multi-layer printing solutions.

FononTech's business model revolves around the sale and leasing of its advanced printing tools. The company offers a beta tool capable of printing down to micron-sized features, which will be available for delivery in Q2 2024. This tool features 256 individually controlled printing zones, enabling multi-layer printing and local substrate alignment. Additionally, FononTech provides a proto tool compatible with a wide range of materials, supported by a robotic arm for precise substrate handling.

The company generates revenue through the sale of these advanced printing tools, as well as through service contracts for maintenance and support. By offering cutting-edge technology and comprehensive support, FononTech aims to establish itself as a leader in the high-tech printing market.
