Advanced Technologies for Printing Electronics and Printing on Free-Form Objects

Printing on freeform objects shows growing demand in several industries. For decoration, coating, masking or functionalization. Now, inkjet printing enters the 3rd dimension.
Likewise, the integration of electronic functions on plastic parts through Printed Electronics technology is of great interest for product designers and manufacturers.

PROFACTOR offers key technologies which will boost your product innovations:

Free-form inkjet printing
> Decoration of objects of almost any shape with high flexibility in design.
> In-line printing right onto the part in the injection mold
> Precisely aligning the print motif to features on the object
> No need for screens, transfer films or printing plates.

Printing electronic elements right onto the object
> Production of electrically conductive and functional elements on a wide range of materials.
> Hybrid integration: combining printed and conventional electronic components on one part

Fields of application
> Decoration and functionalization of interior or exterior parts, e.g. in automotive industry
> Printing on freeform parts, e.g. in aerospace, the white goods industry, etc.
> Direct to shape decoration of consumer goods, e.g. fashion, sports, shoes, etc.
> Transforming existing printing processes from analogue to digital
> Functionalization of plastic parts to reduce risk and lower overall process complexity
