Printing Electronics: Technical and Business Transition from the manufacturing of Membrane Switches to Printed Electronics, including smart textiles and smart plastics.

Metafas is a high level screen printing company with more than 30 years experience in printing electronics. We have developed from screen printing front foils and membrane switches to printing sensors on (non-)stretchable substrates, including connectors, pick-and-place, cutting and assembly. The company has transformed from a local build-to-print manufacturer for the machine- and electronics industry towards a supplier & partner for smart applications in the Automotive, Healthcare and Consumer electronics. In this presentation, Luc will guide you shortly through this journey, and explain how system integrators can benefit from this, and you will learn (both upsides and downsides) from various cases and projects.
