- joshu 5y agolaser cut a frisket and spray glue through the holes.
- tartoran 5y agoPrint a negative and use it like a stencil. You could also mix acrylic with sand so you can exclude the glue part altogether
- WoodenChair 5y agoThanks, but I'm trying to automate the process for mass production.
- syntaxing 5y agoNot OP, but curious why stencil is not a viable option for mass production? You don't have to roll compound over the stencil manually. Stencils are still used in applications like solder paste.
- WoodenChair 5y agoWell I'm not trying to reproduce the same picture 100 times but instead 100 different pictures. So it would be 100 different stencils.
- SG16 5y agoYes stencil or screen printing is much faster for mass production. It is faster and you could directly print on a variety of substrates like FR4, plastic, glass and even paper. I'll wirte about that next
- turndown 5y agoYou could modify a 3D printer to output glue instead of plastic, a slightly related video I can provide shows how you can print chocolate on to a piece of break[0]. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRBxuDvS2gs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRBxuDvS2gs
