Case study:

A user wants to print some functional layers on a thin film substrate made from PET. The design hosts some piezoelectric material sandwiched between two electrodes. The entire structure is encapsulated by protection layer. Prior the processing, the layout is discussed with the team and the appropriate materials are chosen. The print is performed under controlled environmental condition like yellow light, which also enables UV curable inks to be processed. A first layers is printed and post processing steps like thermal treatment, IR or UV curing is performed. After changing the screen, another layer can be processed onto the same substrate so that multilayer designs are realized. After four printing/post processing a transducer is fabricated which can then be used within the desire force sensing application.
