micronozzles

Micron-size Features,
Sub-micron Accuracy.

Our micronozzle fabrication process was developed to assist a two-phase drop-impingement cooling system for space station electronics. With 10+ micron diameters and sub-micron accuracy, our micro-EDM group has produced over 200 million custom-contoured micronozzles and nozzles plates for jetting applications in industrial inkjet, medical, and scientific markets for nearly 30 years.
