NOVA Anatomy
Module ports
The modular interface uses kinematic couplings and locking levers to locate and hold modules in place.
Priming plate
Test ink and print settings before applying materials to a substrate. Wipe the plate clean when the desired print quality is achieved.
Print area / mounting grid
The A4 print area can be configured to work with a variety of substrates. The vaccuum table module can be removed to expose a threaded mounting grid.
Storage drawer
Protect NOVA’s dispenser and probe between uses by storing them in the drawer’s foam insert.
Status LEDs
Located along the underside of the y-axis fenders, the LED indicators provide important information about NOVA’s status.
