About EoPlex
EoPlex Technologies Inc. produces components using innovative deposition techniques, based on custom printing equipment and proprietary inks that carry ceramic, metallic, or polymer materials to millions of locations. This allows the manufacture of components with integrated chambers, channels, sensors, circuits, reactors, energy scavengers, and other features. Many parts are created simultaneously in large panels, and the only tooling required is low-cost printing masks. The company is currently using the technology to develop products in markets that include energy harvesters to replace batteries, micropumps, RF devices, thermal devices, and fluidic components. Its products also include state-of-the-art, complex ceramic-metal cell phone antennas, where the dielectric properties of the ceramic provide better performance in a smaller package. EoPlex is a privately held company based in Redwood City, CA, and is backed by ATA Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Labrador Ventures, and Draper-Richards.
