The rise of sensors and electronics that conform to soft and complex surfaces has grown exponentially, accelerated by new applications for IoT, wearables and medical devices. Fabricated on flexible plastic substrates or printed and woven into fabrics, these technologies offer advantages such as mechanical flexibility, weight savings, and lower profiles—opening opportunities to apply sensors and electronics in novel ways not achievable in the past. This symposium explores the recent innovations in this area, exciting new product introductions and real-world applications. Additionally, it looks at the opportunities afforded by 3-D printing of these devices. Attendees get the latest, up-to-date information on:
- Where’s the technology today in the adoption cycle
- Progress and recommendations on overcoming the barriers to widespread, successful commercialization
- A look at some of the early use cases and practical applications
- Future technology directions and emerging application opportunities
