New ideas for electronic concepts, change completely design freedom, material choice, function integration and usage flexibility.
World routine is moving in Touch Screen Generation, mixing function integration and design freedom, so that electronics is joining this tendency too.
Flexible substrates and inks, that through an additive process can reproduce difficult electrical layout and thin tracks, are the key to include electronic components in 3D complex shapes.
Printed Electronics, additionally, create the perfect mix between electronics and plastic material, so that today we can co-mold flex PCB and plastic parts: In mold Electronics.
Maximization of product functionality, production process and minimization of production phases.
Main advantages obtained are:
- Flexibility
- Thin Thicknesses
- Lightweight solution→ Mechanical parts and wiring reduction
- Increasing of quality and technical value perception in interior application
- Supply chain semplification
- Competitiveness
Materials
Polimeric substrates ( PET, PP, PC, …)
Flexible material and variable thicknesses up to 125 um, mainly on polimeric base, additionally paper based or streatchable foils as TPU.
Inks
Polimeric paste, including conductors, insultating and resistive inks, are the main players in such a brand new innovation. Those materials let user able to mix electronics application and plastic ones, maximising functional integration.
