In2tec’s has transformed the way customers approach their product design due to the opportunities provided by our world-leading technologies.
Our Flexi-hibrid™ technology offers unrivalled opportunities for HMI, with our unique fine pitch component placement capabilities and innovative integration of electronics into superstructures, we inspire customer designs that directly benefit the opportunities in functionality and packaging.
Allowing for 3-dimensional design platforms, not realisable with conventional PCBA materials and rigid 2-D planar circuits, means that the electronics can conform to the desired shape of the product, as opposed to designs and packaging having to fit the electronics. Our ability to incorporate complex curves in the 3-D circuit assemblies we create offers immense electronic integration possibilities for HMI design & functionality.
Through our continued investment in R&D, technologies such as Flexi-hibrid™ and OMSE™ (On-Mould Sustainable Electronics) offer significant benefits in the design and packaging of HMI, but importantly provide a solution to the challenges faced by manufacturers come end-of-life.
15 years ago, we developed a solution to some of the key problems the electronics industry faces, but has only recently become prominent with consumers – electronics recycling.
Currently, when electronics are recycled through the Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) protocol, the PCBAs are removed, shredded, and sent to landfill without the prospect of breaking down. Consequently, this results in risks to human health as well as environmental damage.
Our solution is ReUSE® and ReCYCLE™. ReUSE® enables the production of unzippable electronics assemblies—and ReCYCLE™ is the ultra-low energy unzipping process.
Utilising exclusive methods in electronics design and manufacturing, coupled with patented conductive adhesives, inter-layer adhesives, printed inks, and dielectrics, In2tec’s technology provides printed circuit board assemblies that achieve full recyclability, ensuring that all components can be reintegrated into the supply chain.
The drive to develop sustainable and circular electronics was to introduce sustainable electronics manufacturing practices across the industry, and facilitate the opportunity to recover valuable components, at zero cost and CO2e-free.
With an average of just five years of use discarded electronics are currently sent to landfill, yet the components have often used less than 20% of their life. The ReUSE™ and ReCYCLE™ closed-loop programme changes ewaste from a liability to an asset, bringing circularity to the electronics and additional revenue across the supply chain.
