The document discusses the future of industrial printing, including smart printing that can be used for manufacturing processes. It describes how industrial printing is moving beyond traditional graphics to enable functional printing, printed electronics, bio-medical printing, and smart packaging. The document outlines several applications of industrial printing, such as using printed antennas in cars or creating diagnostic kits through bio-medical printing. It argues that industrial printing will see growth in several key areas and can transform industries like healthcare through innovations in areas like wearable biosensors.

3. BEYOND COLOR AND GRAPHICS PRINTING?
Using traditional printing as a kind of 3D Printing (2D & 2.5D)
Deposition of fluids and Materials
Combining with color graphics or traditional applications

4. WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL PRINTING IN A SMART WAY?
Smart industrial printing is:
• Print as a process (= manufacturing step) and not really print as a product (like a banner)
• Can be high volume and low cost (label) or low volume and high cost (watch face)
• Could be part of a product and has no value on its own (antenna)
• Could be functional print (antennas, batteries, contacts,…)
• Could be industrial decoration (marking, coding, …)
• Could be packaging decoration (bottles, jars, …)
• Could be bio-medical, electronics, interior decoration, …
Who? Industrial printing is more done by specialised service partners.
Why? Industrial printing is optimising production (time, cost and possibilities)

9. BIO MEDICAL PRINTING
Diagnostic kits:
• Healthcare- Pharmaceutical industry looks for quick, cheap ways to detect potential diseases
• Typically sold as over the counter (OTC) products (cfr pregency tests)
• Accurate detection based on blood, saliva, sweat, urine…
• Combination of:
• microfluid systems
• Printed Electronics
• Functional Printing
