Printing technologies: inkjet, screen, dispensing

Adaptation of printing technologies (selection of materials and process technologies) for the manufacturing of printed products according to customer requirements

Knowledge transfer of existing printing technologies for color and functional printing (web fed and sheet fed), their field of application and implementation (e.g. printed flexible and hybrid electronics)

Design and demonstrator fabrication of printed components (CCM – catalyst coated membrane, conducting paths, electrodes, antennas, batteries, sensors, resistors, transistors, capacitors, diodes, protective layers, etc.)

Product and circuit design including prototyping of printed, flexible, and hybrid electronic including energy source, sensors, and communication (Bluetooth, WLAN, etc.) according to customer requirements

Ink design and analysis (inkjet ink characterization, measurement of viscosity, and angle of contact)

Investigations of printability of any desired ink with selected printing technology. Implementation of printing tests according to customer requirements:  • web fed (reel-to-reel) and sheet fed | dispensing, screen printing, and inkjet, • printing on 3D objects via inkjet and dispensing

Characterization of printed functional layers (surface and electrical properties): XRF analysis, REM analysis, tactile profilometry, 4-point measurement, contactless surface resistance, measurement of ampacity, radio frequency properties, etc.

Characterization of printed components (conducting paths, electrodes, antennas, batteries, resistors, etc.)
