Fab-4-Digital

Technology for large-scale manufacturing of devices for the digitization of analog objects

Project Objective
The FAB-4-DIGITAL project aimed to promote advanced digital manufacturing applied to printed electronics, improving production flexibility, customization, and efficiency in the development of functional devices.

Consortium capabilities
The consortium brought together companies and technology centers with experience in printed electronics, industrial printing processes and manufacturing digitization, combining knowledge in design, materials and industrial scaling.

Solution to the challenge
Traditional manufacturing of electronic components is often inflexible and expensive for short production runs or customized products. FAB-4-DIGITAL addressed this challenge by integrating digital manufacturing and printed electronics technologies, enabling the rapid and efficient adaptation of designs, geometries, and functionalities without increasing costs.

Project Scope
The project included the development and validation of digital functional printing processes, the integration of digital design and control tools, and the demonstration of real-world use cases where printed electronics provide added value compared to conventional technologies.

Expected Outcome
The expected results of the project include:

• Greater flexibility and speed in the development of electronic products.
• Cost reduction in short series and customized products.
• Improving industrial competitiveness through digital manufacturing.
• Consolidation of printed electronics as a key technology in advanced manufacturing environments.
