Yesterday, Rebecca Lewis, Director of Education and Workforce Development at NextFlex, participated in a Semiconductor Workforce Panel at the Upstate Makes: Materials Innovation Engine for Microelectronics event in Syracuse, NY. The event was convened to share the initial framework envisioned to engage the direct support of industry-leading materials expertise to accelerate the development of both 300mm and 200mm technologies and to support industry in the region with cutting-edge product development in anticipation of an NSF Engine proposal. Other panelists included Aimee E. Durfee, VP of Workforce Innovation at CenterState CEO Corporation for Economic Opportunity, and Timothy Thomas, Chief Academic Officer at the Griffiss Institute, and was moderated by Alyson Slack, Senior Economic Analyst with the MRB Group. https://lnkd.in/dbTahA2h #workforcedevelopment #upstatemakes #semiconductors #microelectronics

Nano Dimension is excited to host 2nd Annual AME User Forum, focusing on the application and utilization of 3D technology for Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME). The event will take place on November 15th at the renowned Northeastern University in Boston. Join experts for a day of innovation, networking, and cutting-edge tech. Art Wall, Director of Engineering and Fab Operations, NextFlex will be speaking on "NextFlex and the Additive Hybrid Electronics Ecosystem" Additive technology is changing our world. Simple 3D printed structures have evolved to become critical components in the manufacture of devices that we could not have imagined just a few years ago. Now comes the emergence, implementation, and the continued evolution of additive hybrid electronics. There are so many exciting examples of materials, tools, processes, and systems that are now emerging in the ecosystem indicating that this new technology cannot be ignored. More importantly, it is being adopted into manufacturing today. In this discussion, we will introduce how NextFlex convenes this community to push the maturity, expand the supply chain, and secure the human capital necessary for manufacturing success. Finally, future developments of systems and applications will be presented as part of an overall electronics national strategy.

Yesterday, Scott Miller, NextFlex Director of Technology spoke at the TechBlick The Future of Electronics RESHAPED on "Hybrid Electronics Innovations and Ecosystem: A U.S. Perspective" ?? ?? Hybrid electronics are at an inflection point, with products currently on the market that rely on this manufacturing paradigm, many products in late-stage development, and even more opportunities poised to take-off. Applications in medical, aerospace, and consumer electronics, structurally integrated systems, and advanced packaging are all rapidly moving forward. As the U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Institute focused on Hybrid Electronics, NextFlex convenes a broad ecosystem of companies, universities, and government partners to advance technology, create and mature domestic manufacturing capabilities, and support the education and training of the workforce for this manufacturing sector. This talk will describe the Institute’s approach to carrying out its mission, provide examples of technical projects, and offer perspectives on exciting new opportunities for the ecosystem.
