The project aims to develop a scalable manufacturing process and industrial automation tool using linear robotics, to apply printed electronics on variety of existing 3D mechanical parts and components, enabling them with capabilities of actuating spot heating (+130 °C) along with deployment of antimicrobial functionalities. Examples of such components are not only limited to wearable electronics, automotive vehicles, airplane wings, but is open to also medical infrastructures. The precise integration of embedded electronics on a 3D-surface topology using conventional technologies is very challenging and, in some cases, infeasible. Thin-film printed electronics embedded on non-planar 3D surfaces of the mechanical components and parts, will offer incorporation of SMART functionalities at the application environment e.g. system monitoring, predictive maintenance, sensing operational contaminations, process stream-lining, feedback loop actuations etc. For instance, as patients get diagnosed in medical centers, direct contact of patients to the medical apparatus and systems become inevitable, leading to a surface level biological contamination, that potentially spreads uncontrolled. M-HyTec-i-Bac intends to provide a smart & more efficient manufacturing route, for realizing sterilization/sanitization concepts in medical centers and housing infrastructures. We envisage additively manufacturing hygienic & thermally energetic surfaces for hospitals and housing sectors, where 1. heated sanitization/sterilization elements and 2. anti-bacterial coatings using silver can be implemented on 2D/3D solid surface composites, by printed electronics (PE). The main advantage of using PE for the functionalization of 3D-parts is very straightforward: using additive & sustainable manufacturing steps with a high degree of freedom, the manufacturing process thus becomes flexible and adaptable towards various shapes, sizes and geometries. Most importantly, new functionality is imparted onto the 3D part which is tunable to the application environment. And, due to these benefits, functionalization of the 3D-components with PE can easily fit modularly within/across any conventional production steps. The target sectors for such functionalized products include consumable electronics, gadgets, automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, equipment integration and manufacturing, and medical devices, among others. To achieve this, the development of a scalable yet modular digital manufacturing process and automation tool will have the potential to validate not only in terms of product performance and reliability, but also promote sustainable appropriate industrialization. The new process and concept tool is expected to add benefits e.g. freedom of manufacturing size, maximum functionalization capability, wide addressability and reachability, low investments, and above all, modular versatility. The adapted machine setup, process parameters, electronic hardware & interface to create 3D-mechanical components, design and development of the functionalized product along with the manufacturing tool will be presented as the final outcomes. The process workflow, manufacturing tool and functionalized product will demonstrate at a small-to-medium scale, the application of thin-film PE on 3D parts to validate its operational capability. With the support from all the partners, the results will be exploited globally to maximize product applications and industrial sectors reach.
