Abstract

Gravure printing and manufacturing of advanced electronic components in a way that is going extra hold position. It is to print the electronic components of the rapid productivity improvements as well as cost-saving and environment-friendly industries such as the transition is a big advantage. However the mechanism of gravure is difficult to study scientifically because of high speed and excessively small size of the cell. To approach the mechanism we experimented using gravure printability. The condition of variables of IGT is pressure and velocity. By using Flow-3D simulation software, we built up the theoretical model under the constant variables. Then, we compared the real test with the simulation results. Therefore, it is studied the mechanism of gravure scientifically and it can be analysed the effect of the variable conditions.
