Manufacturing Street

How to Manufacture Printed Electronics - Live Demonstration

On April 17-18, the tradeshow will feature "Manufacturing Street" - a live, multi-technology, printed electronics demonstration. Manufacturing Street brings together seven organisations in the supply chain who will demonstrate a number of printing and process steps in interactive sessions throughout the event, printing functional inks and assembling printed and conventional electronics devices.

Highlights of Manufacturing Street include:

Inkjet printing demonstrations provided by Fujifilm Dimatix
Screen printing and post-print photonic curing shown by Novacentrix
Functional printed batteries will be demonstrated by Blue Spark Technologies
Printed temperature sensors will be shown by PST Sensors
Hybrid electronics realisation will be explained by EM Microelectronics
Automated multi-component assembly will be shown by VTT
Inkjet printing with in line curing by Ceradrop, working with ArjoWiggins and Adphos
Presentations from experts covering the hands-on realities of printing electronics.

As the equipment is being set up, used and the process steps made, experts will talk you through everything that is happening, covering what you need to know about printing electronics - along with all the secrets! This is your ideal opportunity to ask experts your questions regarding the practical aspects of printing and sintering functional inks.

Feedback from past Manufacturing Street contributors:

We worked with IDTechEx to reflect the readiness of printed electronics, through Manufacturing Street and the demonstrators. We got fantastic feedback on it, and it is helping us to strengthen supply chain relationships as well. The end-users we spoke with responded well, and this gives them confidence going forward that many of the challenges have been worked out and the industry is now addressing system-scale optimization. We have shown that printed electronics is closer to volume use than people realized.
