Flexible Printed Electronics

Tapecon worked with GE Global Research to design a printed, flexible option to replace a rigid torque sensor. Using our expertise in printed electronics processes and materials, Tapecon was able to manufacture a more accurate & lighter weight sensor that was a lower cost compared to etched copper options.

Tapecon partnered with Binghamton University to prove FHE capability, viability and manufacturability of a wearable temperature sensor. The project involved updated design for manufacturing, printing conductive inks, placing components and adding a wearable stick to skin substrate with top graphics.

Tapecon worked with GE Global Research to help build and complete circuits for a wearable monitor. Tapecon's engineering team became an extension of the GE Research project team and was able to work through design iterations to provide optimal prototypes. Ultimately, Tapecon was able to help meet quick deadlines for prototypes and create designs that were ready for scalable manufacturing. Including a manufacturing partner in the early stages allow the process to move more efficiently.
