Portable PCB Printer
Circuit JetCircuit Jet enables additive, on-demand manufacturing of multi-layer PCBs from a user’s desktop.
Using precision inkjet technology to print circuits directly onto FR4, PET, and paper substrates, boards can be created on-demand as easily as dragging and dropping BMP files, which allows for same day testing and drastically reduced logistical costs.
Circuit Jet materials are non-toxic, and cartridges can be recycled via traditional desktop cartridge recycling centers.
Circuit Jet is being used by The U.S. Air Force to provide on-demand PCB printing capabilities.

Electroninks Receives U.S. Air Force Contract to Provide Particle-Free Conductive Ink and Printers for Advanced Manufacturing
October 28, 2021
Company Wins $1.5M Contract for Phase II SBIR Program from Rapid Sustainment Office
AUSTIN, TEXAS — Oct. 28, 2021– Electroninks, the leader in particle-free conductive metal inks and advanced materials, today announced that it has received nearly $1.5M in Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding to develop advanced manufacturing hardware and particle-free conductive inks for printed circuit boards from the Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO).
The Air Force will use Electroninks’ advanced manufacturing hardware and particle-free conductive inks both at home and in rapid and austere (remote) environments to provide an agile manufacturing solution for printed circuit boards (PCBs) on demand and at the point of use. The solution better enables the Air Force to reduce waste and extend aircraft and other systems lifespans — all while driving down costs and increasing mission readiness.
