60 SMT007 MAGAZINE I DECEMBER 2022 • Scalable production of MXene dip-coated yarns and cords • Mass production of e-textiles using embroidery technology • Improvements in printed heating circuits for clothing garments • Use-cases of e-textiles for automotive, robotics and beyond • Architecture innovations to optimize e-textile performance in complex systems "Aer two years of virtual conferences, we are excited to welcome the e-textiles indus- try to come together in person to learn, net- work, and collaborate," said Vladan Koncar, PhD, professor, ENSAIT and IPC E-Textiles Program committee chair. "Holding the event alongside IPC APEX EXPO 2023 also provides our attendees the unique opportunity to par- ticipate in standards development meetings and view the latest technologies happening in the electronics industry by both visiting the exposition and the other events and education offered during IPC APEX EXPO 2023." e Professional Development course, "Electronic Textile Evaluation Methods for Product Engineers and Designers," taught by Madison Maxey of Loomia, will take place on Jan. 22. Maxey will cover how to engage with electronic textiles for new product develop- ment. Attendees will walk away with a clearer picture of when electronic textiles may be rel- evant to their engineering, which type of tech- nology is ideal for their application, and how to thoroughly evaluate a technology when selected. In addition to the conference, IPC e-textiles standards development committee meetings will take place. Committee meetings are open to anyone to attend, but attendees must select "Committee Meetings" as part of their regis- tration package. ere is no cost if participants register by Jan. 21. Aer that date, the registra- tion fee is $50. ————————————————— January 24 D-72a Conductive Yarns for E-Textiles Task Group 10 a.m. to noon D-72b Woven, Knitted and Braided E-Textiles Standard Task Group 1:30 to 3 p.m. Embroidered E-Textiles Group 3:15 to 5 p.m. ————————————————— January 25 D-75c E-Textiles Printed Electronics Reliability Standard Task Group 8 to 10 a.m. D-75a E-Textiles Wearables Standard Task Group 10:15 a.m. to noon D-75b E-Textiles Wearables Guideline Task Group 1:30 to 3 p.m. For more information or to register for IPC E-Textiles 2023, visit: www.ipc.org/events/ipc-e-textiles-2023.
