Abstract

Disclosed is an imprinter device comprising an array of adjacent applicators that are arranged so that longitudinal axes of each of the adjacent applicators are parallel to each other, wherein the applicators are configured to make contact with and conform to a surface of a three dimensional (3D) object. In some embodiments, the applicators move independently of each other with respect to the surface of the object, and wherein the applicators are configured to apply a material over the object while in proximity to the surface of the object. Also disclosed are methods of conformal coating a surface of an object.
