“On TECNALIA’s functional printing platform, we generate knowledge that leads to materials and products with high added value”

Using functional printing technologies, we develop products that incorporate energy storage

On TECNALIA's functional printing platform, we generate knowledge that leads to materials and products with high added value, ensuring economic impact and job creation. Functional printing brings together technologies that incorporate advanced functionalities to a product or component, beyond its conventional functions (structural, thermal, etc.), by printing with ink on very different substrates, such as plastic, metal, wood, cardboard, glass or textile.

New inks, improved printing machines and new processes are opening the door to products with enhanced functionalities. At TECNALIA, we work on the entire value chain; from the idea to the prototype.

Smart products at the LOPEC trade fair

Functional printing aims to change the way we work with most products; incorporating energy storage or integrated electronic circuits, thus adding smart features to a passive component.

In conjunction with the Functional Print Cluster, we participated in the LOPEC 2023 trade fair: we showcased a state-of-the-art demonstrator with a unique concept: a large component with a modular design, structural integrity and fully integrated functionalities; capacitive touch; temperature and deformation sensors and heating elements.
