Putting It All Together: Solutions that Address Customer Needs (Printed Electronics Europe 2015)

In this talk we will discuss the gap between desired performance and the existing capabilities of Printed Electronics. In particular we will discuss the drive to the hybrid approach and the challenges and achievements presented in manufacturing for the emerging area of Flexible Hybrid Electronics

Dr. David G. Sime is the Director of Technology Transfer at Soligie, Inc. Educated in Applied Physics and Information Science, Dr. Sime spent many years in the Atmospheric and Space Sciences working on instrument development, experiments, and analysis with NASA and NSF including roles as Program Scientist and Principal Investigator. He also served as Program Director at NSF. Dr. Sime has worked in the business and technical sides of new technology development in the optics, display, and functional printing industry for almost 20 years. This has included work with lighting, display, sensor, and control systems, involving both basic development and commercialization."

Soligie utilizes high speed, roll-to-roll manufacturing to produce printed electronics with a variety of conductive, resistive and proprietary materials on flexible substrates such as PET, paper and foil. Soligie offers a full range of services including: concept design, circuit design, design for manufacturability and final volume production. We combine emergent materials with proprietary manufacturing processes and produce electrical components such as memory, sensors, displays and batteries for integration onto thin, flexible substrates. Soligie currently serves the military, medical device, smart packaging, RFID and flexible interconnect markets.
