I’m Anthony and i’m new on this forum. I looked for the same subject on your forum but i did not find.
Currently i’m looking for a robot allowing thermoforming small pattern with polyethylene terephthalate.
You can see the drawing of what i want on attachment. (dimensions are in mm)
Do you know a robot which permitting that? do you know another process (different from thermoforming) which permit to print these patterns on polyethylene terephthalate?
We have no technology to help you do that unfortunately. You could probably achieve something like this by etching a copper plate with very fine printed pattern. Unfortunately your scale is simply too small for all the tools we carry.
I’m not sure I understand your drawing: are you trying to make a grid base with 0.1mm bumps and fine gaps (microns wide) between them, over an area of about 5x5cm? If that’s the case, I’m not sure how you can make this.
When you say you are looking for a robot do to this, are you asking about something like 3D printer or other assembly-line type piece of equipment? Unfortunately we don’t have any 3D printers that support high enough resolutions: the finest resolution we have is 100 microns, which is the width of your bumps and not small enough for the space between them…
Perhaps another forum contributor will be able to point out any product that might be able to do this.
Exactly i’m trying to make a tiny grid with plastic but there is no limit for the size of the area. The only thing i want is to make small squares (0.1mm*0.1mm) with a height of about 0.1mm and fine gaps (about 0.01mm).
Currently i have no idea of how i can do that.
I looked for thermoforming machines and 3D printer but i didn’t find the solution.
I apologize for my english but my first language is french.
