Frequently Asked Questions?
In-mold electronics (IME) is a manufacturing process that uses a mold to create electronic components and products. The mold is filled with plastic and metal alloys, which are then heated until the plastic melts. The metal droplets fall into the liquid plastic, where they form small islands of metal. These islands are then pulled out of the liquid by centrifugal force and cooled down so they can be used to make electronic devices or parts.
Some of the major companies in the in-mold electronics (ime) market are BotFactory, Butler Technologies, Canatu, CERADROP, Dupont, Lite-On Mobile, MesoScribe Technologies, Nagase America Corporation, Nascent Objects, nScrypt Inc, Optomec, Pulse Electronics, TactoTek, Tangio Printed Electronics, Teijin Ltd.
