Abstract
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a squeegee head which is operable to drop a material; and a vacuum manifold attachable to the squeegee head, wherein the vacuum manifold is operable to create a vacuum in a space prior to the squeegee head is to drop the material.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a squeegee head which is operable to drop a material;
- and
- a vacuum manifold attachable to the squeegee head, wherein the vacuum manifold is operable to create a vacuum in a space prior to the squeegee head is to drop the material, wherein the vacuum manifold is attachable to the squeegee head such that the vacuum manifold wraps around the squeegee head to surround the squeegee head.
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- attaching a vacuum manifold to a squeegee head;
- vacuuming a cavity in a stencil using the vacuum manifold;
- and
- dropping a material by the squeegee head onto the cavity after vacuuming the cavity, wherein the vacuum manifold is attached to the squeegee head such that the vacuum manifold wraps around the squeegee head to surround the squeegee head

Machine readable storage media having one or more instructions that when executed cause a machine to perform an operation which comprises:
- attach a vacuum generator to a squeegee head;
- vacuum a cavity in a stencil using the vacuum generator;
- and
- drop a material by the squeegee head onto the cavity after vacuuming cavity, wherein the vacuum manifold is attached to the squeegee head such that the vacuum manifold wraps around the squeegee head to surround the squeegee head.
