Renewable Energy with Printed Electronics

With the emergence of more and more electrical appliances instead of gas-powered applications, we are working towards a sustainable world. Provided the batteries, accumulators and applications are sustainably produced, of course.

Producing Printed Electronics by means of rotary screen printing helps with this. Examples are printed solar panels and printed batteries. In this blog, we will discuss these applications and some of the advantages of rotary screen printing that make this production technique one of the most sustainable solutions. 

Wearables and Healthcare: Printed Electronics for Hospitals

As more and more sectors are depending on electronic devices and smart applications, Printed Electronics are being used for an increasing amount of applications. For example, technologies to print electronics are also used for Wearables and Healthcare. 

Printing test strips or smart band-aids has many advantages, but Printed Electronics are not suitable for every application. In this blog, we will discuss differences in applications, advantages and the latest developments in Healthcare.

Rotary Screen Printing for Printed Electronics Manufacturing: Opportunities and Chances

The printing of Printed Electronics comes in many different applications and techniques. Each technique gives you unique opportunities and chances as a printer. For example, rotary screen printing also offers some unique opportunities. In this blog we will elaborate on what this can mean for your printing process.

Printed antennas for wireless communications: NFC and RFID

Printed Antennas are a common form of Printed Electronics used to enable wireless communication. Printed Antennas for wireless communications are more common than you might expect, and this will only increase in the future. 

The most common types of printed antennas are NFC and RFID technologies. But what are the differences between these two? What are they used for and how are they manufactured? In this blog, we will look closely at both forms of wireless communication.

Screen Printing Techniques for Printed Electronics: 5 points of comparison

Flatbed screen printing is a well-known technique for Printed Electronics. A somewhat less familiar solution for these applications is the rotary screen printing process. 

Although both techniques work differently, they have many similarities. However, they also both have their unique advantages. For example, seamless printing is not possible with flatbed screen printing, while it can be done in a rotary screen printing process. 

But what is the best solution for your manufacturing process? What are the most relevant differences for your printing process and which technique can help you to improve your Printed Electronics best?

Flexible Electronics: Printing Flexible Circuit Boards and more

As more and more electronic devices are (partly) produced through Printed Electronics, flexibility becomes increasingly important. Flexible Electronics are a well-known phenomenon in the printing world, but which manufacturing method creates the best results for your printing line? And how do you take the environment into account? 

Whether you print Flexible Circuit Boards or any other form of Flexible Electronics; every print method has its advantages and disadvantages. In this blog, we will list the most important benefits and drawbacks of Rotary Screen Printing for Flexible Electronics.

Electrically Conductive Inks for Printed Electronics

For printed electronics, the function of your application often determines the printing process you use. To get the functioning right, the printing process should be chosen carefully. There are several possible solutions, but the perfect combination of ink and printing technique is different for each application. Like the application you print, the ink often has a specific function as well. For example, electrically conductive inks are inks that can conduct electricity. 

The optimum solution is a combination of costs and performance. How can you find the solution that fits your printing needs best? To understand this, we first need to focus on which challenges might determine your choice.

Printing Biosensor Test Strips - 6 reasons why Rotary Screen Printing enables more test capacity

The COVID-19 pandemic put immense pressure on societies worldwide, and because of that, the demand for more and faster testing capacity became greater than ever before. Pharmaceutical companies strive to make rapid test devices as available to the public as possible, but innovative technologies for Printed Electronics are necessary to do so. 

Biosensor Test Strips are an innovative technology, but with the short-term demand for millions of test strips for a virus that’s still relatively new, companies are facing a challenging task. Rotary screen printing might be the solution for this challenge. In this blog, I will explain how this printing method can solve the increased global demand for more test capacity.
