create + conduct + connect
Transportation
T-Ink technology appiled to transportation:

Decorative, conductive and dielectric inks are printed onto film substrates to create capacitive electrodes along with traces necessary to connect indicators and terminals.  The film is then thermoformed to generate the complex contours while maintaining electric connection to the electrodes.
Why T-Ink for Transportation?
 

  • Space Reduction - the only method to create a true 100% 3D smart part in thin format.
  • Better customer experience through fastest capacitive switch available on the market. 10X faster in sensitivity to all other capacitance technologies.
  • Design Optimization - Multilayer, multifunctional printed electronics to meet complexity challenges. An enabler to new innovative design no longer constrained by the traditional mechanical devices, lighting and electronics.
  • Assembly Simplification - The end product is a highly styled and decorative plastic component with a single connection point to connect a multiple array of switches through one contact point.
  • Weight Reduction – T-INK In Mold provides weight savings per component part with weight savings ranging from 30% – 70% per part.
