Speaker: Adam M. Scotch | Company: Brewer Science | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation Brewer Science's vision is to design, build, and deploy connected gas and water sensors that monitor environmental contaminants on a large scale. For the last 10 years, Brewer Science has developed the technology to print cost-effective sensors that can measure contaminants in water, such as heavy metals (lead, cadmium), nitrate, and arsenic, as well as sensors that assess air quality by measuring gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. Producing low-cost sensors with low-power electronics and wireless communication will enable the deployment of sensors over vast areas for real-time monitoring of environmental conditions.

Speaker: Carolyn Ellinger | Company: Eastman Kodak | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation Many everyday products contain mass produced printed electronic components. Each mass-produced printed component is a replicate of the last, making their manufacture well suited for “analog” print manufacturing, such as flexography. The use of high-resolution printing enables smaller individual features and finer increments in size - enhancing the ability to print high-fidelity patterns with very complex shapes. These benefits, among others, enable improved form, fit, and function for the user of products manufactured using these techniques. In this talk an overview of the benefits of high-resolution, additive manufacturing will set the stage for a more in-depth investigation of high-resolution flexography. The focus will then turn to addressing the challenges of making high-resolution patterns that are truly functional. A technical assessment of using print (or print-enabled) manufacturing to get sufficient material (z) height for function while maintaining the small x-y features will be presented. Examples will be shared from both lab-scale and production scale evaluations.

Speaker: Fujito Yamaguchi | Company: Asahi Kasei Corp | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation Asahi Kasei has been developing high-definition R2R printing technology using seamless roll mold (SRM). As a result, we have succeeded in seamlessly high-speed printing of continuous patterns at a resolution on the order of nm from several μm in R2R printing. On the day, we will explain a new business solution (Anti-counterfeit solution) that applies this R2R high-definition printing technology. Furthermore, as another application example, "UnPad", which is the product vision we have been advocating for a long time. "A world where people can interact with data through a set of interconnected sensors, actuators, computing and storage devices" As an example of embodying this, we will also introduce a touchless pointing device jointly developed with TNO Holst Center.

Printing a Disposable Neuromodulation Earpiece Speaker: Alejandro Covalin | Company: Spark Biomedical | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation The use of traditional electronic manufacturing technologies has been long favored in the medical device industry. In light of rising costs due to trade wars as well as unpredictable supply chain issues, we decided to steer away from standard flex circuits and adopt a printed electronics approach to manufacture our disposable earpieces. These earpieces have to adhere to the skin and reliably deliver electrical stimulation pulses for a period of up to 24 hrs. to help people overcome opioid withdrawal symptoms. In order to minimize cost and increase the reliability of our disposable earpiece, we converted our original flex circuit design to a single-sided print and transferred all components to a specially designed double-sided spring-loaded terminal cable connector. We expect an FDA clearance for our printed electronics earpiece before the end of the year.

Speaker: Pierrick Plantevin | Company: Jet Metal Technologies | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation While the use of conductive inks is widely spread for electrodes manufacturing, in some cases it shows limitations regarding general performances and reliability. Thus, recent developments on technologies that are able of delivering reliable R2R thin film metal coating led to consider their use for printed electronics and more specifically for manufacturing various sensors electrodes. The primary reason is the high demanding nature of a sensor that implies having good performances in terms of sensitivity, range of measurements, as well as stability over time. Pure silver offers highest electrical conductivity and, along with an extremely low roughness surface condition, this leads to a significant increase in both sensor dynamic range and yield compared to traditional conductive inks. Thin film electrode shows also better temperature stability and overall aging capabilities that extend the operating conditions of the sensor. The metallic deposit is - by nature - not subject to any compatibility issues with sensing elements thus allowing the manufacturing of all kinds of sensors. A combination of thin film electrodes interconnected via printed conductive ink can be considered, improving the integration of this sensors within more complex systems. Finally, as for the environmental aspect, relying on thin thicknesses of metal ensures a very low material consumption and a ...

Speaker: Rob Hendriks | Company: FononTech | Date: 12-13 October 2022 | Full Presentation One of the challenges in printed electronics is the large gap between costly, high-resolution lithography, and cost-effective – but also less refined – printing technologies. A brand new and revolutionary technology has been developed that fills that gap and enables the next generation of manufacturing to start today. Impulse Printing is a novel additive manufacturing technology that transfers high-resolution patterns through rapid surface heating. When the solvent at the heated interface reaches its boiling temperature, rapid gas generation leads to pressure build-up. This pressure causes the ink to transfer to the substrate at incredible speed. Impulse Printing has several unique features. It can deposit feature sizes ranging from several microns to many millimeters, with aspect ratios of up to 0.5. Since the ink is released from a surface, it does not experience any shear forces, which means a wide range of viscosities can be deposited. Impulse Printing can therefore solve common manufacturing challenges, including printing on any surface topology with inks of extremely high viscosity. Patterns can even be wrapped around substrates. Impulse Printing is a non-contact and high-throughput technology, so it is compatible with large substrates, like roll-to-roll processes. It was designed to be user-friendly and to have a low cost of ownership. It can therefore be seamlessly integrated int...
