Abstract: A method for screen printing of a material on a substrate is provided. The method includes moving a process head assembly having at least one deposition device from a first position to a second position to perform a stroke, wherein the stroke includes at least a first phase for material processing of a material on a screen device using the at least one deposition device and a second phase for a material transfer from the screen device to the substrate. The at least one deposition device moves in a first direction in the first phase. At least one device moves in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the first phase. The at least one deposition device and the at least one device simultaneously move during at least a part of the first phase. The at least one device is selected from the group including the at least one deposition device, a material processing device, the screen device, and a substrate support.

Abstract: A method of dispensing paste for a printer using a paste dispensing apparatus is provided. The paste dispensing apparatus includes a reservoir for storing a paste for a printer. The reservoir includes a stirrer for stirring the paste. The paste dispensing apparatus includes a receptacle for receiving paste from the reservoir. The paste dispensing apparatus includes a closable passage from the reservoir to the receptacle. The closable passage is changeable between an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the receptacle is fluidly coupled to the reservoir so that paste can pass from the reservoir to the receptacle. In the closed state, the receptacle is fluidly decoupled from the reservoir so that the paste is prevented from passing from the reservoir to the receptacle. The paste dispensing apparatus includes a pusher for pushing paste out of the receptacle. The method includes transferring a first volume of paste from the reservoir to the receptacle while the closable passage is in the open state. The method includes, after the transferring, changing the closable passage from the open state to the closed state. The method includes, after the changing, performing a first discharging operation by the pusher to discharge a first amount of paste from the receptacle while the closable passage is in the closed state.

Abstract: An apparatus for hole drilling in a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes a laser system configured to apply a laser beam onto the substrate for removing material from a set of areas on the substrate by directing the laser beam onto predefined positions corresponding to the set of areas on the substrate in a sequence. The apparatus includes a ventilation system configured to produce a fluid flow along one or more sides of the substrate. The apparatus controls the laser beam such that the laser beam is sequentially positioned according to a first laser beam movement direction and a second laser beam movement direction.
