Final Project

DIY exposure unit for silkscreen

Abstract


As final project I decided to produce an exposure unit. With three friends of mine we run a little graphic design studio and screen printing laboratory named Sacrèm. We need an exposure unit in order to make our stencils and cause the commercial ones are expensive we decided to make one. As a common and simple technique as it is the silkscreen there are some good diy projects where I can start (but not so well documented most of the time). My goal is to make a easy to replicate exposure unit with some feature that i haven't seen in diy projects:

  • Vacuum system
  • Timer with saveble and customizable presets
  • Cheap light integrator
  • Easy to upgrade system
