Specialists gather to talk 3D printing electronics

In the morning, Martin Hedges from Neotech AMT will speak about the convergence of 3D Printing and 3D Printed Electronics, while Rob van Asselt, Philips Lighting Research, will tackle the opportunities and challenges of integrating 3D electronics in lighting products.

Continuing, Kathrin Reinhardt from Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS will show howbetter printing quality of the pastes can be obtained, so that there is a higher reliability for 3D printed electronics.

After lunch, Ruth Houbertz, Multiphoton Optics, will talk about high precision 3D printing, while Guido Groet, Luxexcel, will explain why and how 3D printing is a game changer in ophthalmics.

Speakers from TNO, Fraunhofer IPA and CTR Carinthian Tech Research AG will also share their views on related topics during the afternoon.

This innovative event will bring together minds and discoveries. The programme features ten speakers who will share their knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics related to 3D Printing Electronics, including combining functional elements such as electronics (sensors or switches) into a 3D printed product hybrid, processes that integrate electronics onto or within 3D printed parts, challenges and future prospects.
