Project Description

E-Printing is a key enabling technology that goes well beyond the established paper printing. In recent years, novel areas have matured, where printing techniques find increasingly a pathway from R&D to industrial manufacturing.  These areas not only include organic and plastic (opto-) electronics, but also micro-optical, bio-medical, MEMS fabrication and packaging, 3D rapid prototyping, flexible substrate technologies, roll-to-roll, etc. The key assets of Eprinting are among others: direct local additive process with no further lithography or etching, low-waste manufacturing with low environmental impact, digital approach allowing for rapid, maskless prototyping and flexible production, multi-material compatibility and combinatorial material printing approaches, etc.
