Inkjet-Printed PCBs, a paradigm shift to a needs-driven approach to decarbonization

Elephantech, a printed electronics firm using inkjet technology founded in 2014, began producing flexible printed circuits (FPCs) using additive manufacturing in 2018 and has since then established a large-scale demonstration plant for mass production in 2020. Due to the recent COP26 conference, there is a growing demand from eco-conscious customers for the new manufacturing method, as they recognize its equivalence in performance to conventional products and superior environmental impact. To meet this expectation, Elephantech is focusing future research and development efforts on the scaling of single-sided FPC production, as well as the development of double-sided FPCs and double-sided rigid printed circuit boards, and will provide updates on these endeavors.
