Technology Verification for Reliable Smart Surfaces

Ensure Reliability with Smart Surface Technology

IMSE (in-mold structural electronics) smart surface technology is changing electronics by integrating functionality directly into thin, lightweight, and seamless 3D structures. This innovative approach combines printed electronics and standard components within injection-molded plastics, delivering enhanced aesthetics, durability, and performance.

Smart surface technologies must meet stringent reliability standards, especially in automotive interiors where extreme temperatures, vibrations, and humidity are common. 

This white paper introduces the technology verification process that ensures the reliability and robustness of smart surfaces, particularly for demanding automotive applications. The technology verification process ensures that each component and material—polymer substrates, conductive inks, and adhesives—performs reliably throughout the product’s lifecycle.

What You’ll Learn

• Key principles of structural electronics and their manufacturing process
• How core processes—printing, surface mounting, forming, and injection molding—work together
• Verification methods that ensure reliability under different environmental stresses
• Automotive validation examples demonstrating the technology’s performance
