Design Hour by TactoTek x Sundberg-Ferar: Combining Beauty and Function with IMSE®

MARCH 25TH 2026

What if form and functionality were no longer separate?

At CES 2026, TactoTek and Sundberg-Ferar came together for an inspiring Design Hour exploring the future of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) through IMSE® (In-Mold Structural Electronics). Now we bring this session for everyone. This webinar reveals how integrating light, sensors, haptics, and control systems directly into molded structures transforms the way we design and experience products.

For decades, designers and engineers have balanced between aesthetics and functionality: displays hidden in bezels, lighting added as secondary components, PCBs buried beneath surfaces. Traditional product architecture meant layers, sub-assemblies, and compromises. IMSE changes that.

In this webinar, David J. Byron, Principal and CEO of Sundberg-Ferar, will share how Sundberg-Ferar approaches HMI design at the intersection of beauty, function, and emerging technology, and how IMSE enables entirely new creative and engineering possibilities.

What You’ll Learn:

• How IMSE enables higher-quality HMI engagement
• The design impact of light integration—from ambient glow to precise light lines
• Surface stack strategies: texture, print, and light working as one
• Part reduction and weight savings through structural electronics
• 3D form freedom and new creative possibilities
• Applications across industries
