IPC APEX EXPO 2024 Technical Conference: Innovation Communication
March 6, 2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC APEX EXPO continues to build upon a long tradition of technical program depth. In recent years, the technical program staff has fostered an increased depth of research in the technical program and expanded the scope and variety of the special sessions.
Of particular interest to EMS-oriented attendees is the Factory of the Future technical track, which is comprised of three separate sessions and 10 presentations. These two-hour sessions take place Tuesday, April 9, and Wednesday, April 10, and range in topics that include artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twin, automation, and additive manufacturing.
To illustrate what attendees can expect from the technical sessions, we reached out to the presenters in the Factory of the Future sessions and invited them to share a little about the topic of their presentation. The following four presenters responded with a summary of their presentations.
In addition to the increased technical depth in IPC APEX EXPO technical programs, IPC has expanded the Special Conference Sessions. This year, special sessions will explore EV electronics, moderated by MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions’ Lenora Clark, and advanced packaging, led by IPC CTO Matt Kelly. These sessions take place sequentially on Thursday, April 11.
“Liquid Metal Patterning for Electronics”
Presenter: Michael Dickey, NC State University
This talk will explore the fascinating and unique properties of liquid metals based on gallium. These metals are liquids at room temperature and can be patterned into useful shapes to create soft and stretchable electronic devices.
