Abstract
A method is disclosed for designing a nozzle for jetting printing material in a printing system including selecting a surface tension and viscosity of a printing material at a jetting temperature, selecting a drop volume of the printing material, and constructing a constricted axisymmetric dissipative section of the nozzle, which may include defining a length of the constricted axisymmetric dissipative section and defining a cross-sectional area of the constricted axisymmetric dissipative section. Other methods are disclosed involving receiving an input for a drop volume of the printing material, constructing a simulation of a constricted dissipative section of the nozzle by defining a length of the constricted dissipative section with respect to an orifice length and defining a cross-sectional area of the constricted dissipative section, and outputting the simulation of the constricted dissipative section to a display device and displaying on the display device an image representing the constricted dissipative section.
