Optomec to Showcase at Sensors Expo

Optomec, a provider of additive manufacturing systems for 3D-printed metals and electronics, will feature its systems at Aerosol 3D printers at the Sensors Expo in San Jose, CA, from June 21 to 23.

Aerosol Jet technology is currently used for printing 3D shaped electronics in mass production for antenna and sensor applications. There is a growing demand for antennas and sensors directly integrated into products including smartphones, wearables, structural components and IoT related products. Creating integrated 3D antennas and sensors using a direct write approach enables higher fidelity monitoring of structures, faster product design and prototyping, while also broadening the choice of substrate materials. The Optomec exhibit will compare examples of 3D printing to traditional fabrication methods for broadband, Bluetooth, NFC antennas, plus strain and creep sensors. Examples of via filling and wrap-around printing using five axis of motion manufacturing solutions will be displayed.
