Abstract
The evolution of the printed and flexible electronics has attracted great interest from the academia and the industrial world as well. Due to the wide number of potential materials and emerging applications that may be exploited, laser printing has been studied both for scientific research and commercial purposes. In this context, this chapter discusses the fundamental theory supporting laser printing and specifically Laser-Induced Forward Transfer that is a direct non-contact and non-destructive laser printing technique in an aim to provide a complete overview of the printing mechanism and the jetting dynamics, while in the following paragraphs potential applications are also presented. Moreover, since Laser-Induced Forward Transfer is a technique that could be described as an additive process, in contrary to the subtractive processes such as laser sintering, part of this chapter is focused on the evolution of the technique towards additive manufacturing as well as industrialization activities that have risen in the last 5 years.
