Design and development of high precision five-axis positioning system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is based on the use of elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate taking advantage of the self-assembly process. Features as small as 300nm can be easily printed over an extended area. The ...
Design and development of high precision elastomeric-stamp wrapping system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is an emerging printing technique that could potentially find application in the electronics industry. High-speed roll-to-roll equipment was built at Nano Terra, Inc in 2008, for microcontact printing. ...
Analysis of the capabilities of continuous high-speed microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Microcontact printing uses elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate by the process of self-assembly. It has the capability to print features as small as 200nm over large areas. Because of this it has many potential ...
Management of a high mix production system with interdependent demands : simulation of proposed policies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The finished goods inventory management in the accessories area of a material testing company is complex. There is interdependence between the demands of products and they can be sold both as part of systems and as individual ...
Reduce cycle time and work in process in a medical device factory : scheduling of needle hub molding machines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Many manufacturing firms have improved their operations by implementing a work-in-process (WIP) limiting control strategy. This project explores the application of this concept to limit WIP and reduce cycle time for the ...
