4. Conclusion

Plastron technologies provide an appropriate response to new industrial requirements for miniaturization, weight reduction, ergonomics and reliability of electronic devices. Faced with the growing need for increasingly high-performance electronic systems, driven in particular by current developments such as the IoT, 5G, Industry 4.0 and the autonomous car, plastronic processes offer an ideal solution to overcome the limitations of standard electronic technologies.

At the crossroads of numerous technical fields, plastronics is constantly evolving, benefiting from advances in all of them. For example, ongoing advances in printed electronics technologies are improving the functionality and reliability of IME products. Similarly, recent innovations in additive manufacturing processes and associated new functional materials represent new avenues of development for plastronics....
