All the functions such as the rotary input, switches and buttons as well as the visual and haptic feedback features are combined in adSphere.Controller.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of the adSphere R3D process:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple, robust parts<\/li>\n<li>Cheap to produce<\/li>\n<li>High integration level<\/li>\n<li>A single connection for a complete functional unit<\/li>\n<li>No moving parts or gaps and extremely hygienic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The adSphere R3D process:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compared with the current situation, the process chain can be reduced to just a few steps: The raw material is a flexible, off-roll film with printed circuits comprising conducting paths, touch elements, junctions and contacts.<\/p>\n<p>The necessary electronic components such as the LEDs and resistors are applied to this surface.<\/p>\n<p>This can already be achieved as a state-of-the-art process with simple means, high precision and high throughput.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s new in the adSphere R3D process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The adSphere R3D process now involves subsequent forming to create three-dimensional geometries \u2013 with the high degrees of deformation that we normally see only in the packaging industry (e.g. yoghurt cartons).<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the application, this new moulded part can also be coated, a step that significantly increases robustness \u2013 e.g. when used as an input device on ticket machines (weather- and vandal-proof).<\/p>\n<p>The R3D process is possible thanks only to the innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/watttron.de\/produkte\/matrix-heizsystem\/\">cera2heat<\/a> matrix heating technology from watttron, which allows temperature distribution over a surface to be precision-controlled to a very high resolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specific applications for the new input devices in the following areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Medical technology (clean design)<\/li>\n<li>Automotive (easy, ergonomic, haptic)<\/li>\n<li>White goods (cheap, design flexibility, robust)<\/li>\n<li>Consumer electronics (design flexibility, robust)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The adSphere R3D process plant:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>adSphere has commissioned this highly compact process plant \u2013 the first of its kind anywhere in the world \u2013 for forming flexible electronics to create three-dimensional input elements and control panels thanks to its strong network partners in R3D prototype development and process optimisation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column
