Malachite Tech provides contract R&D engineering services to the high tech industry. Working with one of the leading metal 3D printing companies as they were bringing their first products to market, we needed to conduct thermal studies of a novel furnace design. Finding and contracting with Datec, we were able to implement new heaters into our existing furnace with exceptional turn-around time. Datec engineers worked with our CAD models to modify the standard Datec designs for use in our furnaces, then fabricated the heaters, and had them in our hands in a matter of weeks. The heaters performed from the first day of install through the extended study period and were instrumental in the refinement of our designs.
Working with Datec and their unique ability to print robust heating circuits and apply proprietary coating technologies provided us with a game-changing solution for two of our clients so far. They are a great, collaborative team to work with
We were able to develop a best in class product leveraging Datec’s mica heater technology. A truly professional and responsive team. Datec is definitely one of the best companies that I have ever worked with.
Our thermal simulation capability provides designers with practical and useful feedback that helps determine the correctness and efficiency of a design before it reaches the manufacturing stage. We work with you to fully customize a thermal solution that will power your industrial design.
CASE STUDY
A food equipment manufacturer approached Datec to develop heaters for use in a hot food well assembly to reduce energy consumption, cost of installation, and increase safety. The Datec team quickly understood the problem and came up with a solution using our mica-TF heating technology. A thermal simulation study was performed to determine the ideal circuit design and electrical specifications for the heaters to predict the performance accurately before building the prototypes. Upon approval of the design, our team quickly manufactured the prototypes and tested them on the benchtop and inside the final product assembly for performance and reliability. The project was completed well in advance of the customer’s deadline, allowing them to roll out the new product as planned.
Unique ability to print heating elements directly on Aluminum for applications upto 240 deg C. This will help with excellent uniformity and save space.
Datec’s superior and patented technology offers efficient and quick heat up, space saving design, and precise temperature control.
Datec designs the heating circuit to be even, therefore reducing thickness and weight of the substrate, and enables faster heat up and cool down.
Designed to prevent localized hot spots and assist the heater circuit to stay cooler which improves the reliability and efficiency.

At Datec, our expertise cuts across multiple industries. Here are a few examples:
Datec developed a unique thermocoagulation device that achieved the same result as traditional cryotherapy. However, we made that possible with heat and without heavy gas canisters. This device is portable, lightweight, and has a long battery life.
This manufacturer needed a fast-acting, compact heating plate with an even thermal profile to enable its circuit board printer to cure and reflow custom printed circuit boards right from an engineer’s desk.
Datec is providing this world leader in the supply of automotive components (including thermal management products) with leading-edge technology.
