There have been plenty of interesting printed electronics systems that have been designed in recent years. However, having a good idea usually isn’t enough to guarantee success. Simply put, if the product can’t actually be manufactured at a reasonable cost, the new application will never see the light of day.
The ability to bring a product from the lab to fab is a critical step in its future success. To that end, some successful printers have decided that the printed electronics market is a good field to bring their years of experience.
Si-Cal, Inc., a heat transfer label and printed electronics specialist, found that the printed electronics field was ideal for its high quality capabilities and entered the field in 2005, when the company began screenprinting RFID antennas.
“We saw printed electronics as a way to diversify what we do,” said Jaye Tyler, president of Si-Cal. “While we continued to grow our Graphics Division, we also knew we could leverage our existing equipment into printed electronics, and a lot of the skill set in printing layers of graphics translates we
