Additive manufacturing has gained substantial public attention through 3D printing while its 2D counterpart is already an established large scale industrial production process for certain printable electronics including organic light emitting diode displays and flexible photovoltaics. Printable electronics for applications with moderate integration densities are consistently evolving through new printing process flows but first and foremost through the development of new functional inks for conductors, semiconductors, insulators and advanced functionalities. The aim of this project is to design and to build a modular roll-2-roll printing setup that allows for the integration of different electronic functions for applications in flexible electronics such as smart tags or wearables. These electronics functions will comprise a battery, an RF antenna, some logic and non-volatile resistive RAM. In order to conceive a prototype, a modular design also able to accommodate third party solutions is suggested that includes the complete fabrication process from the surface modification for adapted wettability, the transfer of ink itself including an optical controlled alignment unit in feedback mode, several options for sintering and a lamination unit to protect the device structure against mechanical wear. The project relies on the competence of the industrial partner in the design and construction of deposition technique with existing experience in roll-2-roll processing and the experience of the academic partner who has demonstrated the first fully ink-jet printed non-volatile resistive random access memory. Both partners have already successfully collaborated on various occasions and have external collaborators from Saskatchewan and Germany to assist with dedicated aspects of printing processes and the structural and chemical characterization of the printed structures.

添加剂制造通过3D打印引起了公众的重大关注，而其2D对应物已经是某些可打印电子产品的大规模工业生产过程，包括有机光发射二极管显示器和灵活的光伏电视。具有中等集成密度的应用的可打印电子设备一直通过新的打印过程流动，但首先是通过开发用于导体，半导体，绝缘体和高级功能的新功能墨水。 该项目的目的是设计和构建模块化滚动2卷打印设置，该设置允许将不同的电子功能集成到灵活电子中的应用，例如智能标签或可穿戴设备。这些电子功能将包括电池，RF天线，一些逻辑和非易失性电阻RAM。为了构想原型，模块化设计还可以适应第三方解决方案，其中包括从表面修饰中进行的完整制造过程，以适应润湿性，墨水本身的传递，包括在反馈模式下的光学控制对齐单元，几种用于烧结的选项和用于保护机械磨损的设备结构的层压单元。 该项目依赖于工业合作伙伴在设计和构建沉积技术方面的能力，并具有现有的Roll-2滚动处理经验以及学术合作伙伴的经验，而学术合作伙伴的经验证明了第一个完全印刷的非挥发性非易失性的电阻随机访问记忆。这两个合作伙伴已经在各种场合成功合作，并拥有来自萨斯喀彻温省和德国的外部合作者，以协助打印过程的专门方面以及印刷结构的结构和化学表征。
