Freeform Microfabrication
Products
NAVI
Guided Particle Systems introduced NAVI, the first in its series of Freeform Microfabrication products, in July 2022. Targeting college and university educators and researchers as customers, NAVI will help prepare the workforce for reshoring of microelectronics, advanced packaging, and electronic assembly through hands-on activities that use robotics combined with established fabrication techniques and materials - without the need for a cleanroom or semiconductor fab.

APPLICATION AREAS
High Performance Surfaces & Systems
GP systems enable fabrication of high-performance microstructures on complex surfaces for thermal, optical, mechanical, and electrical systems in aerospace, defense, space, and other industries. Complex, custom features ranging from tens to hundreds of microns are possible.
Research & Development
Flexible and automated, GP’s microfabrication technology enables rapid prototyping of
high-performance electronic systems by allowing researchers to design, fabricate, test and repeat
new or improved concepts in a short timeframe.
Electronic Packaging Innovations
With GP, printed circuit board technology innovations such as PCBMEMS, high density interconnects, microfluidics, and embedded sensors on flat and conformal surfaces are possible.
Education/Workforce Training
GP offers services, hardware platforms, software
and curricula development for advanced technology education, leading to experiential learning in
electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, and robotics.
