In mold electronics

Hi

Anyone ever used In Mold Electronics?

http://www.designhmi.com/2017/03/25/dupont-in-mold-electronics-technology-and-application-development/

I am looking to see if there is a sensible business case, that is that it can compete with standard PCB with long distance between components

Cheers

Klaus

Why would it want to? It does stuff that standard printed circuit materials can't, so it is going to be the cheapest option for particular cases.

Making the business case involves working how many of them there might be, and how much you have to spend on advertising to draw the process to the attention of the people most likely to want to exploit its unique advantages.

With any new technology there are early adopters who will have particularly appropriate applications (if they can be persuaded to think them up). Beating out existing processes to replace existing products is part of the follow-up consolidation phase. It takes a lot more capital investment.
