The study of noncommutative solitons is greatly facilitated if the fieldequations are integrable, i.e. result from a linear system. For the example ofa modified but integrable U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions we employ thedressing method to construct explicit multi-soliton configurations onnoncommutative R^{2,1}. These solutions, abelian and nonabelian, feature exacttime-dependence for any value of the noncommutativity parameter theta anddescribe various lumps of finite energy in relative motion. We discuss theirscattering properties and prove asymptotic factorization for large times.Comment: 1+24 pages, no figures; v2: minor corrections, two references added; v3: typos correcte
