Nano Dimension (Ness Ziona, Israel), a leading additive electronics provider, recently announced the immediate availability of the world’s first 3D-printed electronics online service, giving designers and engineers unprecedented access to develop smart, electrified objects, including those that cannot be produced by any other method today.
PolyIC (Fürth, Germany) will be showcasing mass applications for its PolyTC capacitive sensors at this year's Embedded World from 27 February to 1 March in Nuremberg, and at LOPEC from 14-15 March in Munich. The following series production touch applications for white goods will be exhibited: a front panel of a hot water heater from A. O. Smith with touch control, and a demonstrator for a sensor control panel that has been successfully employed in several washing machine models from BSH.
From 13 to 15 March 2018, LOPEC, the international exhibition and conference for the printed electronics industry, will provide information on state-of-the-art technologies, trends and new markets for printed electronics. In addition to sectors such as the packaging industry, the consumer electronics industry and the mobility sector, the healthcare market is becoming increasingly important. In an interview, Teemu Alajoki, senior scientist at the Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT and speaker at the LOPEC conference, illustrates the potential of printed sensors in the medical field.
