J.A.M.E.S Participation in 32nd FED Conference
The participation of J.A.M.E.S. in this event was truly an honor. In that regard, our Head of Engineering Dr. Rolf Baltes gave a presentation on the state-of-the-art developments in additively manufactured electronics (AME), also referred to as 3D-printed electronics.
His presentation focused on the transformative potential of new materials, innovative processes, and newly emerging applications of AME by focusing on the use of this technology in the realization of complex, three-dimensional conductive structures impossible to realize by conventional processing. He also discussed the status of additive manufacturing; he showed how the introduction of new materials and processes opens completely new opportunities in the design and manufacturing of electronic components.
During this conference, J.A.M.E.S showcased our latest AME applications, complemented by a number of them from our partners. Our team was able to meet and discuss with other professionals, sharing our views regarding the future of AM and how this will push the edges of innovation even further.
