Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) 1 article published in JoVE Engineering Study of a Dot-patterning Process on Flexible Materials using Impact Print-Type Hot Embossing Technology Myeongjin Kim1, Jaewon Ahn1, Junseong Bae1, Jinhyeok Song1, Donghyun Kim1, Dongwon Yun1 1Department of Robotics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) Impact print-type hot embossing technology uses an impact header to engrave dot patterns on flexible materials in real time. This technology has a control system for controlling the on-off motion and position of the impact header to create dot patterns with various widths and depths on different polymer films.
