Mr. Berger’s presentation will discuss how Additive Manufacturing is being used to print functional circuits onto both planar and non-planar substrates, whereas 3D Printing is usually assumed to mean building complete products in 3D space. This important difference broadens the scope of Additive Manufacturing solutions to include the ability to print conformal electronics including antennas, sensors, and flexible circuits onto substrates produced by conventional manufacturing methods. This creates a landscape where Additive Manufacturing can co-exist with traditional manufacturing techniques, offering the ability to enhance existing 2D and 3D substrates with conformal electronics. The presentation will provide more details on Additive Manufacturing, especially as it relates to printed electronics.

With its updated one-day format, MicroTech 2017 brings together the entire microelectronics supply chain and is the only UK event dedicated to Micro-Assembly and related technologies. The conference will feature Keynote talks from iNEMI – International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative and the Fraunhofer IZM, Department of System Integration and Interconnection Technologies; technical presentations and table top exhibits on the latest developments, technologies and capabilities; and a high-impact session and poster displays from UK research.
