Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TINKER (FABRICATION OF SENSOR PACKAGES ENABLED BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2020-10-01 do 2022-03-31
The project TINKER targets the development of a new reliable, accurate, functional, cost-affordable and resource-efficient pathway for RADAR and LiDAR sensor package fabrication, following 2 main objectives:
Establishing the TINKER platform based on Additive Manufacturing {AM} and
Fabrication of RADAR and LiDAR sensor packages as use cases.
TINKER’s approaches to nanoimprint lithography, as disruptive and flexible manufacturing techniques in micro-part assembling is in alliance with the overall scope of the call “Transforming European Industry”. The proposed TINKER pilot represents a high degree of flexibility and reliability due to its modular character.
In the next period until project end, TINKER will further tackle its main objectives in completing the setup for the pilot line as well as enable it to produce prototypes and demonstrators of the RADAR and LIDAR sensors packages with low rejection rates and higher degree of automation and miniaturization.
The project includes top EU innovation performers – 10 the most excellent industrial companies, 3 research specialists, 1 consultancy and a service association from 8 European countries, all cooperating together under the roof of TINKER as major players in the field of microelectronic manufacturing and processing and industrial fields applying or interested in applying AM for their needs and defending the European pole position in miniaturization, also by gaining new know-how and skills for involved SMEs and R&D companies.
