Summary:

Advances in manufacturing technologies have allow for rapid prototyping using roll to roll processing. These advances have allowed technologies to be scaled in a way that provides efficacy testing beyond lab scale and allows the technologist to test material in scale quantities. Today FHT representing its vast network of roll-to-roll companies have the ability to use their roll-to-roll assets to create functional microstructures, micro fluidics, functional laminates, thin gauge films, etc.
