She stresses that this technology \u201cis a growing opportunity for the capital goods, consumer goods and light tools industries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy combining functional printing and hybridisation of electronic components with more conventional processing methods such as injection moulding, we can achieve lightweight devices with new features embedded in parts with complex geometries,\u201d comments Iker Arroyo, head of the In Mould Electronics line in Eurecat\u2019s Functional Printing and Embedded Devices Unit.<\/p>\n<p>Plastronics thus \u201coffers businesses the chance to fashion products with high added value which include more complex services, connect with each other to share information in real time via multi-technology options and feature attractive and functional designs which can also be mass-produced,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing this technology enables a degree of integration of components which results in lighter, more compact and smaller parts,\u201d notes Paul Lacharmoise, head of the Functional Printing and Embedded Devices Unit at Eurecat. Plastronics \u201cis a revolution which caters to the needs and challenges of the new mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the case of the pilot line for manufacturing injected parts developed for the automotive industry in the PLASTFUN project. They include lighting effects embedded in printed circuits containing LEDs coupled with breakthroughs in nanotexturisation of parts with built-in printed sensor technology.<\/p>\n<p>This technology, also known as In-Mould Electronics, \u201cis particularly relevant for the mobility industry because it enables the development of new, smarter, more efficient and also more sustainable products,\u201d says Paul Lacharmoise.<\/p>\n<p>Hence Eurecat \u201chas recently developed plastronics capabilities, competences, knowhow and infrastructures which have made our organisation a leader in these technologies including on an international level,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":129111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[422,427,743],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-135538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-functional-printing","category-plastic-material","category-press-notes-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
