In the ever-evolving landscape of product design, it is common for product designers to be continually challenged to produce smaller, more ergonomically designed products, with design teams often confronting obstacles where the end-product design is constrained by accommodating bulky power systems and circuitry. At In2tec, we've dedicated ourselves to overcoming these packaging hurdles with our pioneering Flexi-hibrid™ solutions that empower our customers to achieve their desired aesthetics, user experience, and functionality in their Smart HMI applications.
In2tec explains how this is made realisable
Our groundbreaking solutions come in distinctive forms: Dynamic, Contoured and Rigidised Flexi-hibrid™.
- Dynamic circuits offer continuous flexibility, addressing quality and life-cycle issues associated with traditional electronics. Flexing during use, where normal electronics would break, our Flexi-hibrid™ tehnology offers superior functionality,streamlining space and improving reliability and durability.
- Our Contoured solutions allow our flexible electronics to adapt to desired shapes, to ‘fit’ them, eliminating the need for designs to conform to the electronics—a significant drawback in traditional approaches. By harnessing thermally responsive substrate materials with specialised conductive bonding and adhesion techniques, In2tec crafts three-dimensional circuit assemblies so that complex and compound curves can be incorporated into the electronics assembly. The advantage is, that this enables immense electronic integration possibilities for your HMI.
- Furthermore, with Rigidised Flexi-hibrid™ we deliver flexible electronics that encompass more than just the capacity of printed electronic circuits to facilitate dynamic movement or to maintain flexibility throughout a project's lifespan. With substrates and electronics that can be engineered to conform to specific shapes or forms, while still possessing a mechanically sturdy superstructure or moulded support, we can overcome design and application limitations, thus reducing constraints in packaging and aesthetics. We have developed the technology necessary to laminate or thermally shape and bond Flexi-hibrid™ circuit board electronic assemblies to substrates, thereby imparting rigidity or semi-rigidity as needed to fulfil customer requirements in both function and form.
For over two decades we've delivered products that seamlessly integrate cutting-edge circuitry with complex functionality. Our Smart HMI solutions with the seamless integration of electronics, sensors, illumination, and interfaces across contoured surfaces enable enable substantial size and weight reductions.
Your Flexible Electronics requirements realisable with In2tec
We understand flexibility varies across applications, from bending and rolling, to conforming to irregular shapes, through to folding, twisting, and stretching—all while maintaining device performance. In2tec's decades-long commitment to developing Flexi-hibrid™ electronics technologies has unlocked the potential for previously deemed impossible products and have enabled our customers to create exciting new applications across various sectors.
Our relentless investment in additive flexible electronics processes empowers our customers with advanced functionality and technology, allowing their products to meet aesthetic goals without compromise. Unlike traditional electronics, flexible electronics offer expanded features while adhering to ergonomic designs that are robust, low-profile, and as complex or simple as the product demands.
Our Design Philosophy – Where "Nothing is Impossible"
Driven by the belief that "nothing is impossible," our design philosophy thrives on merging disparate and conflicting design requirements. This approach enables us to provide systems and solutions that enhance efficiency, functionality, and ergonomic design, breaking down design barriers to solve even the most challenging problems.
Circularity and Sustainability are at our Core
With our unwavering commitment to sustainable electronics, we’ve developed patented technology and processes that prioritise recyclability and reusability. Our ReUSE® and ReCYCLE™ solutions allow circuit board assemblies to be ‘unzipped’ at the end of their useful life, providing undamaged, clean components for second-life use.
