Seminar about Digital Fabrication

Digital Fabrication is a new concept for production to become very flexible in the number of copies as well as in the variety of products manufactured. Key components are digital tools in the manu­facturing process as inkjet printing or laser treatment. Some of these technologies are already well established for organic and printed electronics manufacturing.

The aim of this seminar is to offer a precise overview about methods and use cases of Digital Fabrication to be employed also for the production of large area electronics.

The event will happen at the location of CeNTI, Portugal on Monday, March 4^th, 2013.

This is a seminar connected with the OE-A Working Group meeting March 5-6, 2013 at the same location. (www.oe-a.org)
