Screen Printing, Curing, and Testing/Post-Processing: Technologies, Practice, State-of-the Art

There are many details involved with screen printing. “Best practices” are discussed for proper set-up to ultimately to help improve control of thick film deposition. This class provides a understanding of the printing process to enable troubleshooting and solving printing problems. Along with printing, the drying/curing process is also a critical step, and the different types of drying process and equipment are described with recommendations on how to setup for optimum properties. Once dry, products need to be tested for performance, Test methods for measuring electrical, physical, and mechanical properties of processed parts will be touched on with recommendations for suitable equipment and materials.
