DP Patterning is participating in a new project in printed and flexible electronics

The project, R2R-HET – Roll-to-Roll Hybrid Printed Electronics Manufacturing, aims to explore how the production of printed and flexible electronics can be made more sustainable and efficient.

The goal is to develop and validate a concept that creates a platform for Sweden’s production capacity. This platform will allow the printing and/or dry phase patterning production process and the assembly of traditional electronics to occur on the same production line and substrate roll. The printed and flexible electronics industry currently faces challenges in achieving growth and scalability. One identified challenge is the bottle neck of efficient large-scale production methods for assembling electronic components on flexible substrates.

The project is led by RISE (RISE is an independent, Swedish, State-owned research institute). DP Patterning, along with the other project partners (listed below), will investigate the potential for creating and using sustainable flexible substrates and R2R production methods for assembling electronic components.

The project parties:

Roman Armgarth, PhD, COO, and R&D Manager, serves as the project leader for DP Patterning in the project.

Visit us at the Electronica fair in Munich!

DP Patterning will be participating in Electronica, Hall B6 and Booth 526, the world leading trade fair and conference for electronics. Electronica will take place in Munich November 12th -15th . The fair presents the industry’s entire range of technologies and reflects the rapid development in all areas of electronics. 

DP Patterning will showcase the DPP 360, a production system designed to revolutionize flexible circuit board manufacturing with its sustainable, cost-effective solution. The DPP 360, enables producers of electronics to cutting costs and lead times, as well as significantly increase their sustainability for the Flexible-PCBs.

98% lower environmental impact

DP Patterning will present its 98-99% reduction in Global Warming Potential, aligning with its commitment to environmental sustainability. Traditional etching employs hazardous chemicals and expensive production processes. The chemicals used need special handling, storage conditions, permits and facility investments. When you switch to DPP 360, the flex-circuits are produced in a swift and controlled process without emissions, risky handling, or toxic waste. There is no need for safety gear, air purification or wastewater treatment. By insourcing your production, you eliminate the negative effects of overseas shipping. Our own customers calculate a more than 98% reduction in negative environmental impacts compared to the traditional chemical etching process.
