LEITAT has hosted the interim (12 months) meeting of project ORF4AUTO in its facilities on 16th of December.
The ORF4AUTO project, entitled «New organic printable materials for large scale/low cost integrated RF systems onto automotive elements,» is led by Advanced Automotive Antennas (Catalan industry), a technology company focused on the automotive sector. The project includes three additional partners: Intrinsiq Materials (UK SME), University of Southampton (UK Higher Education), and LEITAT Technological Center (Catalan research organisation).
The main objective of the project is to develop a suitable low-cost and rapid printing technology for the integration of antennas (mainly for automotive safety applications) and passive electronic elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors) onto conventional automotive materials. The results will represent a significant advancement in the manufacture of low-cost and more flexible electronic circuits and devices, which can be applied across various industrial sectors such as consumer electronics, lighting/display, medical, and military, in addition to direct applications in the automotive sector.
