Interactive Print
SFXC is revolutionising printing with smart materials that transform the ordinary into extraordinary. Imagine printed images changing colour with a touch, or secret messages appearing under UV light. This is the magic of SFXC's printable smart materials.
They offer liquid crystals that shift colours with temperature, thermochromics reacting to heat, hydrochromics revealing designs with water, and photochromics changing in sunlight. SFXC also uses reflective and bioluminescent materials for dazzling visual effects, and infrared materials for hidden codes.
By incorporating touch sensors, printed circuitry, and conductive inks, SFXC blurs the lines between static and dynamic displays. Constantly innovating, SFXC pushes the boundaries of print technology, offering a unique fusion of creativity and interactivity.
