    It’s not magic – it’s printed electronics! Learn how to combine it with traditional tech

    What does printed electronics say when you bend it? “Stick to your layer!”  In modern product design, engineers and developers often need to mix new technologies with trusted ones. Customer expectations, short deadlines, and limited space make traditional methods hard to use. That’s when printed electronics (PE) becomes useful.  For a designer, PE means adding flexible parts without giving up standard SMD components. For an R&D engineer, it’s a way to try new types of sensors, communication, or power systems. For a product manager, it’s a chance to build thinner, lighter, and smarter products.  But to succeed, you need more than just ideas—you need practical knowledge. How do you mix PE with traditional parts? How do you pick the right materials? How do you design layers that work well together? This article answers common questions, gives tips, and shows examples of real hybrid solutions.  Why Combine PE with Standard Components?  Concern #1: “You Can’t solder that!”  Concern #2: “Will it last?”  Concern #3: “We don’t know how to start”  Concern #4: “It’s gard to estimate costs or Standards”    In this episode meet also:  Pracrical tips Examples of hybrid projects   This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! ⁠⁠https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast

    Flexible wearable circuits: the future of everyday electronics.

    Flexible Wearable Circuits: The Future of Everyday Electronics. Imagine an athlete wearing a light, flexible wristband before a morning run. This band doesn't just measure heart rate—it also checks hydration and body temperature in real time. Sounds futuristic? This kind of device is already real thanks to printed electronics, especially flexible silver-based circuits. In this article you can find: 👉What are flexible printed circuits and why are they the future of wearables? 👉Comfort and function. 👉Practical uses. 👉 What to check before using it. 👉Compared to classic electronics 👉 Tech facts This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! ⁠⁠https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast

    The product lifecycle with printed electronics: a PM’s guide to faster, flexible product development.

    In today’s world, speed, flexibility, and innovation are not just nice-to-haves—they’re a must. For a Product Manager, who needs to oversee the full lifecycle—from idea to end-of-life—printed electronics (PE) is a new tool with huge potential.  PE is not just future tech—it’s a real answer to modern product challenges: faster prototyping, more personalization, and new ways to create value. In a world where roadmaps change every sprint and backlog depends on live market data, PE lets you test and deliver in an agile way.  In this episode we explain how PE fits into product lifecycle management, what opportunities and risks it brings, and how it connects to tools like Jira, Miro, or Figma. If you’re planning your product from MVP to scale-up, you’re in the right place.  This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! ⁠https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast

    Printed electronics in your product strategy

    Meet Andrew. He used to paint houses, work in a flower shop, and fix tires. One day he said “enough” and followed his childhood dream—he became a train driver. It’s a serious job that takes years of training and full focus. A train is not like a car—you don’t turn it left. He has to monitor many things: voltage, pressure, load. The panel he uses to check these values was made in Warsaw, Poland—by the team at LC Elektronik, using printed electronics. Thanks to this tech, the device is thin, light, strong, and works even during a cold winter night with printed pressure sensors on a freight train.  In this episode you can meet:  Why add printed electronics to products? Printing methods are ready for mass use Why printed electronics are a smart move for leaders Explore new markets with PE This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast

    How to effectively use printed electronics in a new project

    Imagine you are a project manager at an automotive company. You have six weeks to build a prototype of a new touch interface. The client wants it to be modern, lightweight, backlit, and functional even when wearing gloves. Standard technology requires excessive plastic, complex assembly, and takes too long. You need a more flexible solution. This is where printed electronics can help.  In this episode we meet key question:  When should you consider printed plectronics?  What are key steps to implementation: from idea to production  How to Pick the Right Partner?  What are Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them  Meet also case study: touch panel for automotive  This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! ⁠⁠https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast

    Flexible printed circuits: the future of wearable electronics 

    In 1998, when the world was excited about the first mobile phones with colour screens, scientists from European universities were working on something else. Their goal was not to make a smaller phone, but to create circuits that could bend, roll, or be attached to fabric. Today, after over 20 years of research, flexible electronics are no longer just science experiments. They are becoming a key part of wearable, medical, and interactive products.  This material comes from the free LCE Insider newsletter, available in both English and Polish.Subscribe today! ⁠⁠https://lcelektronik.com/lce-insider/?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=podcast
