Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for forming on a substrate (214) a pattern of a material, a material layer is provided on an intermediate carrier (204) and an adhesive layer is provided on the material layer, wherein at least one of the material layer or the adhesive layer comprises a pattern corresponding to the pattern to be formed on the substrate (214). The material is transferred to the substrate (214) with the adhesive fixing the material to a surface (216) of the substrate (214).
Claims20
A method for forming a pattern of a material on a substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a continuous material layer of dry particles;
- jetting adhesive to form an adhesive layer on the layer of particles, wherein either the material layer of dry particles or the adhesive layer is formed in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of material to be formed on the substrate;
- consolidating the material layer using heat and pressure;
- and
- transferring the material layer to the substrate with the adhesive layer fixing the material layer to a surface of the substrate.
An apparatus for forming a pattern of a material on a substrate, the apparatus comprising:
- a first station to form a continuous material layer of dry particles;
- a print station to jet adhesive to form an adhesive layer on the layer of particles, wherein either the material layer of dry particles or the adhesive layer is formed in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of material to be formed on the substrate;
- and
- a transfer station to transfer the material layer to the substrate with the adhesive layer fixing the material layer to a surface of the substrate.
An apparatus for forming on a substrate a pattern of a desired material, the apparatus comprising:
- a print station to jet an adhesive layer onto a material layer of dry particles that is provided to the print station on an intermediate carrier, wherein at least one of the material layer or the adhesive layer comprises a pattern corresponding to the pattern to be formed on the substrate;
- and
- a transfer station to receive the substrate and transfer the material layer to the substrate with the adhesive fixing the material to a surface of the substrate.
