Abstract
In systems for printing a viscous material, the printing and post processing of the viscous material are performed sequentially one after another. In an initial step, a viscous material is printed on a sample mounted on a receiver substrate using a donor module and a laser scanner, and then the donor module is replaced with a post processing system for performing a post processing operation (and vice versa). Multiple post processing operations can be performed, and multiple different materials can be printed on the same layer. The systems can increase the speed, resolution and diversity of materials printed on the same sample, and opens the possibilities for new designs.
Claims18
A system comprising dispensing system, a laser and a donor module with a donor substrate and a coating system, the donor substrate and the coating system of the donor module configured to laterally translate between (i) a coating area where the coating system is configured to coat the donor substrate of the donor module with a material dispensed from the dispensing system, and (ii) a printing area where the laser is used to deposit the material from the donor substrate onto a sample.
