SGIA takes screen making to a new level in the upcoming advanced Workshop, “Precision Screen Making for Industrial and Printed Electronics Applications,” on February 21–23, 2012. Students will have the opportunity to improve upon screen consistency and will be given the skills to pinpoint problem areas and their causes and find solutions to unique, task-specific applications.

Instructors Dave Dennings, KIWO, Inc.; Neil Bolding, MacDermid Autotype, Inc.; and Ray Greenwood, SGIA, will cover the critical parameters and measuring techniques necessary to control the screen-making process for tight-tolerance applications, including:

•Key requirements of industrial and printed electronics applications
•High-end mesh tensioning methodologies
•Unique stencil application and exposure methodologies for fine-pitch feature sizes
•In-house R&D for product integrity
•Troubleshooting techniques to resolve problem areas
•Squeegee and floodbar variables and their impact
•Metrology and tracking

Covering advanced topics not found in basic offerings, this three-day Workshop is designed for expert screen-making and art-department personnel, ink chemists and formulators, and process engineers engaged in highly precise applications and processes.
