Structural electronics is considered to be one of the most important emerging technologies. Improvements in 3D technology and rise of IoT are the factors fueling the growth of structural electronics market. In addition, there is an increase in the demand… Continue Reading
The global market for printed electronics is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% through 2022, according to a report by BCC Research. That growth will boost the market’s value from a 2017 total of… Continue Reading
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a high-priority technology growth area for U.S. manufacturers. Innovative AM processes that fabricate parts layer-by-layer directly from a 3-D digital model have great potential for producing high-value, complex, individually customized parts. Companies are beginning to use… Continue Reading
Titanium is strong but light — a desirable property among metals. In the twentieth century, titanium was used in military aircraft and equipment and commercial jets. Today, we find this tough and flexible metal all around us — in sports… Continue Reading
Additive manufacturing, including emerging “3D printing” technologies, is booming. Last year an astronaut on the International Space Station used a 3D printer to make a socket wrench in space, hinting at a future when digital code will replace the need… Continue Reading
Structural electronics (SE) is one of the most important technological developments of this century. It forms a key part of the dream, formulated decades ago, of computing disappearing into the fabric of society. It also addresses, in a particularly elegant… Continue Reading
Structural electronics is one of the most important developments this century yet most people have never heard of it. Strange, as there are over 37 million items on Google. Two years ago, IEEE published, “3D Printing for Rapid Prototyping of Structural… Continue Reading
Initially 3D printing was used to make limited-functionality models and prototypes, before embarking upon the expensive business of fabricating tooling to produce a final product. In recent years however, there has been a move to adopt the technology as full-scale… Continue Reading
