Product / Service
| Product / Service Name | P-Flex, Sustainable Additive manufacturing Flex Circuits |
|---|---|
| Overview | The PCB industry has a sustainability problem in its traditional way of manufacturing using etching technology. It emits a lot of CO2 and uses tons of water for cleaning. Elephantech offers a completely different manufacturing technology using metal inkjet printing and electroless copper plating. Drastic reduction of CO2 emissions by 75% and water consumption by 95%. |
| Price | The products is custom device so, available with required specification. |
| Patent | Available for disclosure to potential customers |
| Strength | Even though Elephantech provides sustainable Flex Circuits, we also bring profitability to customers by using less copper material and shorter production flow than the traditional way. And the product quality is equivalent to existing FPC. Unlike other additive manufacturing products, P-Flex can support reflow soldering for SMT components. |
