Guide for Screen Printing in Printed Electronics – OAMK
The finnish INFINITE partner OAMK developed and released a practical guide for learning the basics of flatbed screen printing in printed electronics. It serves as a textbook for hands-on laboratory training, building on the original Rapid Apps for Printed Electronics project. The guide is made for everyone interested in enhancing their skills in printed electronics and can be downloaded for free (PDF). It covers key considerations, benefits, design adjustments, and provides a comprehensive introduction to screen printing theory, practical tips, multilayer printing, and safety guidelines.
The practical training course ‘Halbleitertechnologie mal anders: Flexibel, minimalistisch – hochfunktional”, organised by OES in collaboration with the Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) at TU Dresden, covered the basics of organic electronics, including solar cells, sensors and OLEDs. Trainees and young professionals gained insights into current research and participated in guided tours of the laboratories. The presentation slides are in German.
Dissemination of survey and interview results of INFINITE – AVO
To design learning materials tailored to the needs of teachers, trainers and learners it is necessary to know the target groups. Therefore the INFINITE project conducted a survey and interviews to get to know the sector of printed, flexible and organic electronics (PFOE). To understand, why we produced the learning materials and courses we did and will do in INFINITE, you can have insight into the data and the conclusions we have drawn out of them. Have a look into presentation itself to get to know how the world of PFOE thinks and works.
Drucktechnik und Additive Fertigung in der Elektronik mit Praxisteil -für Lehrende – OES / HTWK Leipzig
This workshop provides an introduction to printing technologies and additive manufacturing (AM), highlighting their role as key enablers of modern, flexible production. It includes contributions by Ingo Reinhold, who presented on “Printing Technology Today and Tomorrow”, and Lutz Engisch, who covered “Additive Manufacturing – Technologies and Potentials”. The workshop covers major AM processes such as material extrusion and powder bed fusion, including their functional principles, materials, mechanical properties, and application fields. It also addresses the growing relevance of AM in industry and education, supported by practical examples from research and development. Participants gain insight into the relationship between technology and quality, as well as current trends such as digital manufacturing, sustainability, and evolving skill requirements. The presentation slides are in German.
Training Smart Textiles – OES / ITM
At a training on Smart Textiles on May 7, 2025, organized by OES and ITM, Dr. Hung Le Xuan (Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology) presented the talk “CeTI Glove: When Textiles Become a Bridge Between Humans and Machines,” showcasing innovative human–machine interaction through textile-based technologies.
