Technology & Products
Key Products
Proprietary printable dielectric materials; Additively manufactured Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) boards as drop-in replacement for conventional Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards (MCPCBs); IMS boards with lower thermal resistance, thinner dielectric layers, and reduced manufacturing costs.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary printable dielectric materials with high thermal conductivity; additive manufacturing process that prints both dielectric and conductor layers directly onto aluminium; lower thermal resistance and thinner dielectric layers than conventional MCPCBs; ~30% better thermal performance at lower cost.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Proprietary in-house dielectric material formulation combined with additive manufacturing process delivers ~30% better thermal performance than conventional MCPCBs at a lower price point, while reducing import dependence for Indian electronics manufacturers.
How They Differentiate
Owns both the dielectric material formulation and the additive manufacturing process in-house, unlike all other Indian IMS board manufacturers who source dielectric as a purchased laminate from global suppliers. Additive approach reduces material waste, chemical usage, and manufacturing complexity vs. conventional subtractive MCPCB production.
