TactoTek: ‘Smart’ Objects Made from Injection Molded Structural Electronics

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

TactoTek manufactures a variety of electronic devices by incorporating the electronics directly into injection molded plastic.

The company places printed circuitry, computer chips, as well as a full variety of sensors onto a plastic substrate, which it can press into any shape and then place in an injection mold.

The result is lighter weight, easier to assemble, and more durable than traditional alternatives. For example, an auto manufacturer can replace a heavy assembled dashboard component with a lightweight, modular unit from TactoTek.

Given the increasing importance and variety of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices, along with the inexorable miniaturization of electronics generally, TactoTek produces increasingly ‘smart’ objects that provide usability and durability for a wide variety of IoT applications.
