“(Development Example) Multi-Functional IMPC® Sample” Page is now available!
Introduction of Multi-Functional IMPC® Sample. IMPC integrates parts, functions, and design to achieve thinner products, fewer parts, lighter weight, and reduced assembly man-hours.
“(Development Example) IMPC® Electrochemical Sensor – Micro Well Plate” Page is now available!
Medical sample integrated P-Flex® Electrochemical Sensor with plastic injected part by IMPC® technology. The aim is to measure, record and monitor the extracellular potential of cells and cytoplasm in real time without using markers such as fluorescence.
P-Flex® single-sided flex PCB mounted with a QFP
This mounted sample circuit board (polyimide substrate) is formed in a pattern that allows the mounting of a 0.5mm Pitch QFP, enabling connections to FPC Connectors and making it suitable for use in a flexible variety of use cases.

About the IMPC® (In-Mold Printed Circuit)
By integrating the resin and the circuitry, the design can be optimized over a wider area, resulting in various advantages such as weight, thickness and cost reductions.
“Latest innovations and techniques using IMPC®” page is now available.
At the IMPC LAB, our aim is to contribute to humanity and society by reinventing manufacturing through the use of next generation IME (In-Mold Electronics) technologies.
Biosensor：Launch of the Additive Manufacturing Center (3)
This is an article about biosensors. Elephantech's 3-pole electrochemical sensor was tested for performance by connecting it to a DropSens potentiostat and found to be fully functional, etc.
Launch of the Additive Manufacturing Center (2)
I'd like to follow up on my last post by mentioning that I noticed some key words that keep popping up in the research done by explorers who keep hacking home printers and trying different things!That key word is biosensors.
【Ink Discharge Evaluation Service blog : 3】Introducing the Personnel Behind Elephantech’s Inkjet Technology
How does the ink get discharged from the inkjet head? What kind of waveform will allow the ink to be discharged in a clean and efficient manner? If any such question arises, please feel free to contact me.
Launch of the Additive Manufacturing Center (1)
We established the Additive Manufacturing Center (“AMC”) in April of 2020 and, having in June welcomed Mr Kawamoto on loan from Mitsui Chemicals as the center’s director, we’re all set to start operations.
