Profile
TactoTek Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE™) is a revolutionary technology that changes the way electronic parts such as HMI surfaces are designed and built. It integrates printed electronics (circuitry, sensors, and antennas) and discrete electronic components (LEDs, ICs, etc.) inside of thin 3D plastic structures. Embedding functionality such as lighting, controls, gesture sensors and antennas within 3D-shaped surface structures significantly reduces the thickness and weight of parts, delivers excellent touch and antenna performance and brings unique design opportunities for the next generation of HMIs.

In-Mold Electronics: Multiple Players, Diverging Strategies

How do we communicate with our electronic devices? There are many different 'human-machine interfaces (HMI)' options, ranging from the well-established (keyboard/mouse/mechanical switches) to somewhat more recent developments such as the capacitive touch screens found on smartphones. As greater numbers of devices around us gain 'smart' functionality, the ability to incorporate HMI components elegantly and cost-effectively is increasingly important.
