Solder paste can be dispensed onto flexible substrates such as PET, expanding the possibilities for flexible and printed electronics applications. In this demonstration, solder paste was applied to PET and cured at 150 °C for two minutes. The system shown in the video is NOVA, Voltera’s materials dispensing platform. NOVA is designed to handle materials with viscosities ranging from 1,000 to 1,000,000 cps, including various solder pastes, enabling precise deposition across a range of electronic

Do you know the difference between flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) and flexible printed circuit boards (FPCB)? FHEs: 💧Traces printed with conductive ink ✔️Thinner and more flexible than traditional PCBs, low-cost for small production runs ⚠️Mechanical stress could cause material fatigue or dislodge components over time FPCBs 💧Traces made by etched copper or laminated foil interconnects ✔️Utilizes existing PCB manufacturing lines for higher-value devices ⚠️Requires subtractive manufacturing t
