Focused on in-mold labeling technology, we will review potential use cases for decorative and functional parts in the automotive space, from ambient lighting panels and capacitive touch interfaces to integrated heaters and head-up displays using nano-clear conductive technologies for interior applications. We will briefly touch on nano-clear conductives for lidar transparent heating and interfaces in the exterior space. We will finish with a discussion on manufacturing methods and the pros/cons of IML technologies in the modern automotive assembly line and supply chain.

• Use cases for IML and IME. Exploring all the different locations and functional elements where IML can be used in an automotive space
• The benefits of IML technology for durability, weight reduction, energy efficiency, recyclability and user customization
• Introduction to nano-clear conductives for IME products
• Manufacturing methods for IML/IME products and how they integrate into the automotive supply chain
• Looking at the benefits of a fully integrated supply chain versus multiple segregated suppliers in terms of efficiency and outcome of an IML product
