If the problems your company is having can be solved by these three production processes of 1) faster; 2) more inexpensive; 3) more flexible: then Printed Electronics must be an extremely promising solution for you. Printed Electronics enables you to produce various electronics products by printing; using a printer which only calls for a predominately low initial investment. What they would like to emphasize here however, is that it is quite a task making products comparable to the conventional ones using the method of printing; that means only few processes have been established so far. Therefore, if you are able to complete the process within you firm, then you will with no doubt be able to create something which cannot be copied by others easily. Their company will do everything they can do to support your challenges. Let’s make a bright future together!
