First Announcement

Good day,

As a regular subscriber to FSRM course announcements and news we thought that you would be interested in an exciting new conference on electronic printing. Swiss e-Print is the first conference in Switzerland dedicated to this rapidly developing new field. The FSRM is an organising partner of this pioneering event.

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 printed opto-electronics, but also micro-optical, bio-medical, MEMS fabrication and packaging, 3D rapid prototyping, flexible substrate and roll-to-roll technologies.

Switzerland already has many activities in the E-print field, and the organisation of the Swiss e-Print conference will allow active professionals to identify potential complementary partnership in this upcoming manufacturing discipline that spans across several disciplines from tools, ink materials, surfaces, chemistry & physics, electronics and optics, among others.

The conference will comprise invited lectures of international key people in the field with contributed papers from participants.

The main topics to be covered are as follows:

• Digital printing
• Drop on demand (DoD)
• Ink-jet printing
• Emerging printing technologies
• Environmental friendly processes
• Additive processes
• Manufacturing and equipment
• Applications and market
• Green electronics
• Organic electronics
• Bioprinting
• Printed 'opto' electronics
• Plastic 'opto' electronics
• Flexible 'opto' electronics
• Roll to Roll fabrication
• Gravure, flexo, offset printing
• Large area manufacturing
• Inks formulation
• Electronics circuitry, OLEDs, displays, lighting, solar cells, sensors and microsystems, life sciences
• Printed devices

A tentative programme is now available on the conference web site on this page. Registration will be open in early September.

Complete information can be found on the conference web site.
