Speaker: Jorge Carbo | Company: LiquidWire | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation Metal Gel fluid-phase circuits and strain sensors present a unique solution for developing wearable 3D physiological monitors with highly stretchable, thin, and comfortable wiring that makes electronics seamless and invisible when embedded in a garment. In addition to detecting 3D body motion, Liquid Wire circuits can host any technology that a traditional PCB can. But unlike conventional flex circuitry, the Metal Gel conductor stretches with the body’s movements and reflows back into place without harming device performance even after 30,000+ strain cycles. This presentation will explore the underlying technology of pliable Metal Gel circuits and sensors so thin and stretchable they’re hardly noticeable to the wearer.

Speaker: Jonas Mertin | Company: Fraunhofer ILT | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation Printed electronics are increasingly relevant to the large-scale industrialization and commer- cialization of integrated sensors and functionalities. To equip high-value components with printed sensors medium lot sizes, direct printing of functionalities onto a semi-finished or finished component is the most automatable approach to manufacturing. However, the thermal post-treatment of printed layers is often not possible or can only be achieved with compromises using conventional oven processes, either for reasons of energy and thus cost efficiency, com- ponent size, loss of mechanical properties or insufficient thermal load capacity of the compo- nents used. The use of laser radiation for thermal post-treatment of printed functionalities offers ad- vantages in these application scenarios. Due to the local heat input, sensors printed directly on components can be selectively and quickly post treated. On the one hand, this saves energy in production and thus costs. On the other hand, it enables the automation of the entire sensor production directly on a component or a semi-finished product on a machine tool or production Further advantages are the significantly shorter processing times of laser processing com- pared to oven processes as well as the complete 3D compatibility of the process. We will present the possibilities and advantages of combined printing and laser processes for manufactu...

Speaker: Donald Davis | Company: Kent Displays | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation VersaNote, the world’s first ultra-flexible and rugged writing display that mimics the feel, flexibility, portability and analog writing of paper will be discussed.

Speaker: Andrew Bambach | Company: ACI Materials | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation ACI Material’s Stretchable Electronics (SE) product portfolio offers a complete solution for durable wearable electronics. The products are printed on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films which can be bonded to fabrics. This results in devices that stretch without cracking and maintain excellent electrical properties satisfying the harsh demands of wearable electronics. Early to market stretchable conductors have a narrow scope of application due to limited stretchability without cracking. ACI’s product have a superior combination of electrical performance, resistance to fatigue during cyclic elongation, and excellent recovery. Examples of use in biometric sensors and fixed resistance heaters will be shown.

Speaker: Eric MacDonald | Company: The University of Texas at El Paso | Date: 24-Jun-22 | Full Presentation 3D printing has been historically relegated to fabricating conceptual models and prototypes; however, increasingly, research is now focusing on fabricating functional end-use products. As patents for 3D printing expire, new low-cost desktop systems are being adopted more widely and this trend is leading to a diversity of new products, processes and available materials. However, currently the technology is generally confined to fabricating single material static structures. For additively manufactured products to be economically meaningful, additional functionalities are required to be incorporated in terms of electronic, electromechanical, electromagnetic, thermodynamic, chemical and optical content. By interrupting the 3D printing and employing complementary manufacturing processes, additional functional content can be included in mass-customized structures. This presentation will review work in multi-process 3D printing for creating structures with consumer-anatomy-specific wearable electronics, electromechanical actuation, electromagnetics, propulsion, embedded sensors in soft tooling and including metal and ceramic structures.
