Dream Smaller with 
Meet NAZCA, our all-in-one precision printing system for prototyping and low-volume production.
A tribute to the Nazca geoglyphs in Peru, one of which depicts a hummingbird.
NAZCA puts HPCaP’s precision in the hands of R&D and process engineering teams, so you can develop, test, and produce directly in your lab.
From semiconductors and displays to biosensors, move from first prototypes to small production runs without relying on external manufacturing.

Print with NAZCA in 5 Steps: A Simple HPCaP Workflow
The ink is easily loaded using the Hummink CentrifugInk, and the substrate is then simply positioned on the table, with no mask or specific preparation required. Both flat and non-planar substrates are compatible.
The pattern can be created or imported directly into the NAZCA software, built to streamline the prototyping workflow.
The system automatically tunes the pipettes oscillation frequency, ensuring stable and reproducible printing conditions.
the pipette deposits the ink precisely by capillarity with sub-micron precision. Any pattern shape can be printed, from simple lines to complex designs and pillars.
The integrated live camera allows, accurate positioning, real-time monitoring and immediate quality control of the printing.

Inspection & validation
Specs are only half the story.
Here’s what makes NAZCA effortless to run.
All-in-one
intuitive software
NAZCA calibrates itself before every run. Fewer manual adjustments mean less time setting up and more time printing.
A built-in high-magnification camera lets you watch your pattern as it’s deposited, and adjust on the fly, no guesswork, no surprises after the fact.
Fine-tune every parameter, from ink flow to positioning, and connect directly to your AFM workflows, so R&D and production run on the same tools.
Calibration, handled automatically
Every detail in real time
One workflow, from lab to line
Keep R&D and production in-house with our tabletop machine
NAZCA fits on a standard lab bench
Bringing the process in-house means tighter control over yield, faster iteration, and lower cost per run than outsourcing ever allows.
No Cleanroom
No Subcontractor
No Waiting on a fab’s schedule
In their own words
My team was amazed by how easy the NAZCA tabletop is to use! Usually, a system with as many options as the NAZCA has would take several printing sessions to enable someone to successfully print on their own; for NAZCA, it only took me one training. We are looking forward to exploring many uncharted paths to direct-printed electronics using this system!
Aaron Franklin
Professor at Duke University
Hummink’s technology offers unique manufacturing possibilities by allowing various materials to be deposited at scales inaccessible with existing technologies in our laboratory as well as in the market. We have thus acquired their NAZCA equipment to carry out numerous research projects in microelectronics, with a strong industrial dimension.

Where NAZCA’s machine fits
Frequently asked questions
Is post-treatment done within the NAZCA?
No, post-treatment is performed separately, after the printing phase.
What types of substrates can be printed on?
The NAZCA prints on substrates including silicon wafers, glass, flexible substrates, and more.
What is the maximum size of substrate?
The maximum substrate size for a standalone NAZCA is 6 inches.
What patterns can be printed with the NAZCA?
NAZCA prints lines, bumps, pillars, and other user-defined shapes.
What is the XY positioning accuracy of the NAZCA?
The XY positioning accuracy is 500 nm.
Can the NAZCA be used as a prototyping machine?
Yes, the NAZCA’s advanced capabilities make it an excellent choice for rapid prototyping, enabling swift, precise prototype creation for a wide range of applications.
Which materials (inks) can be printed with the NAZCA?
The NAZCA is compatible with a range of inks, including conductive inks, polymers, and quantum dots. However, we can’t guarantee printability with other inks. Contact us if you want to check the compatibility of your ink with our technology.
How can I monitor the printing process & ensure the right positioning of the pipette?
The NAZCA includes a high-magnification camera for real-time monitoring of the printing process and of tip positioning.
Can I import my own pattern design?
Yes. Patterns can be designed in the NAZCA software or imported as SVG or DXF files, which are converted to G-code.
Is the NAZCA compatible with clean rooms?
Yes, the NAZCA is compatible with the cleanroom environment.
