Fully-Integrated Injection Molded Structural Electronics Solutions For Mass Production (Printed Electronics Europe 2016)

Injection-molded structural electronics (IMSE) enables 3D smart plastic structures that can be thin and light, rigid or flexible, and can be mass produced today. TactoTek will present IMSE solutions that combine flexible printed circuitry, surface mount components, and injection molding to create fully integrated smart molded surfaces, and discuss the materials and techniques that make them mass producible.

Dr. Antti Keränen is the technology mastermind behind TactoTek structural electronics. His main responsibilities are developing and maintaining the IP portfolio, directing R&D innovation activities, and communicating the company technology vision and practical applications to the community. Antti has been a major contributor to the technology of in-mold electronics since 2005, when he joined the VTT printed electronics team. He is an Adjunct Professor of theoretical physics at the University of Oulu where he earned his PhD in 2002.

TactoTek is a leading provider of solutions for Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE) that integrate printed circuitry and electronic components into 3D injection molded plastics. Leading use cases include in-vehicle applications, home/industrial appliances, and wearable technology. TactoTek adapts customer designs to IMSE technology, develops mass production ready prototypes, and mass produces or licenses the technology for 3rd party mass production.
