  • ADDITIVE METALLISATION PROCESS
    Publication number: 20140305791
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of reducing metal ions (3, 204) present on a substrate (100) comprising contacting the metal ions with a material (2, 201, 202) capable of reducing the metal ions to metal atoms (6, 9) upon exposure to visible light, and exposing the material to visible light (1) whereby to generate metal atoms from the metal ions.

  • Stencil manufacture
    Publication number: 20060185535
    Abstract: A method of forming a screen-printing stencil comprising electroforming the stencil using a bi-polar electrical signal. The bi-polar signal comprises a cathodic pulse (22) and an anodic pulse (24). When the cathodic pulse (22) is applied during the electroforming process, metal is deposited. When the anodic pulse (24) is applied, metal is removed. The cathodic pulse (22) has a longer duration than the anodic pulse (24). The ratio of the magnitude of the anodic pulse (24) to the magnitude of the cathodic pulse (22) is greater than one.
