Plastronics: the benefits of a promising emerging technology
The potential for switches without mechanical parts is one of the most promising aspects of plastronics (also called IME - In-Mould Electronics). It is every design professional's dream to have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that is simultaneously capable of incorporating capacitive elements, lighting and even haptic feedback and aerials. Today, we know that it is not a dream but an emerging technology that holds special value for some industries such as automotive or household appliances. We take a look at the enormous advantages of a way of working that Industrias Alegre has started incorporating into its operations and processes.
