From your smartphone to the latest wearable tech, the journey of electronic devices starts long before they end up in your hands. At the heart of their creation are intricate manufacturing processes involving imaging, shadow masks, and a lot of chemicals. But behind the cutting-edge technology lies a dirty secret: waste. Traditional methods generate significant byproducts—wastewater, volatile chemicals, solvents, and in general discarded materials—raising costs and environmental concerns.
Enter printing technology: a simple yet transformative approach that is reshaping electronics manufacturing. By directly applying materials only where needed, printing eliminates much of the waste inherent in conventional methods. This additive manufacturing approach not only reduces environmental impact but also slashes costs, lowers energy consumption, and makes innovative products accessible to the consumer market.
In this talk, we’ll explore how the principles of printing are revolutionizing electronics production, highlighting the science and sustainability behind this shift. Join us for a fascinating dive into a cleaner, greener future for technology—one where every drop of inkand every atom of material counts.
