In-mold electronics (IME) and TactoTek's advanced implementation of in-mold electronics that integrates electronic components, such as LEDs within molded structures (IMSE™), create new opportunities for manufacturers to increase their value to current customers and expand to new customers. In his presentation, Marko will discuss typical challenges to becoming an IMSE manufacturer based on his direct experiences with TactoTek licensees, and how they can be overcome. In addition, Marko will share an example of IMSE manufacturing automation that supports predictable, scalable mass production.
