ESMA Academy, in collaboration with Fraunhofer IPA and Hahn-Schickard launches a new course on 20-21 April 2027 in Stuttgart: Inkjet Printing for Printed Electronics and Smart Surfaces.
As new materials and substrates enter production, inkjet is tasked with demanding functional applications – from printed electronics to smart surfaces – where rheology, adhesion, drop behaviour and process control make the difference between a concept and a working device. This new hands-on two-day training closes that gap. Participants learn what makes an ink jettable, how to pre-screen materials, match them to substrates and select the right printhead and ink system, and how to troubleshoot jetting, wetting, curing or drying issues.
Who should attend? R&D engineers, process and application engineers, ink and material formulators, substrate and equipment specialists, and technical managers moving into functional printing. For anyone developing or scaling a functional printed product, this series will give the practical foundations to move forward with confidence.
