Mechatronic Integrated Devices (Mid)

Mechatronic integrated devices or molded interconnect devices (injection-molded circuit carriers) are spatial electronic assemblies – so-called 3D-MID. A special process is used to apply metallic conductor tracks to a specific substrate material (often plastic), thus creating three-dimensional assemblies that also serve as circuit carriers. These spatial electronic assemblies are manufactured using 3D-MID technology and, compared to conventional assemblies, enable the integration of electronic, mechanical, fluidic, optical and thermal functions. The resulting additional benefits represent advantages that cannot be realized with two-dimensional circuit carriers (printed circuit boards).
