Touch through any material<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-sensitive touch and force detection through metal, wood, leather, glass and thick plastics, with gradual haptic feedback and seamless backlighting. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Intentional inputs only<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Capaforce, the finger is detected on contact and a deliberate press confirms the action, so accidental touches never trigger a command. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Seamless integration into any shape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thin, flexible sensors that fit curved surfaces, from smartglasses and earbuds to steering wheels, with no mechanical buttons. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Intuitive, premium user experience<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pressure-graduated haptics, light effects, gestures and presence detection for controls users can operate by feel.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Simple gestures. Richer interactions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a simple tap to a pinch or a custom pattern, our AI recognizes a wide range of gestures directly on the surface. Because it combines touch and force data, it can tell a light touch from a firm press, so each gesture triggers exactly the action you intended.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ultra-sensitive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Based on patented quantum tunneling, the nanoparticle ink detects micro-scale surface deformations, with sensors 75 times more sensitive than standard strain gauges<\/strong> in internal benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Thin & flexible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

0,2mm thickness<\/strong>. Can be placed under wood, plastic or leather and implemented on any 3D shape.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Force & Touch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capacitive touch and force sensing are combined on a single patented sensor under the Capaforce brand, telling light contact apart from a deliberate press.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Robustness under harsh conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Operating range from -40\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C<\/strong>. Resistant to 10M cycles with less than 5% variation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Transparency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fully transparent, flexible film combining capacitive touch and force sensing in a single ultra-thin stack<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Low power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A high signal-to-noise ratio combined with low power consumption, suited to wearables and battery-powered devices.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

From sensor to product: a complete integration-ready solution.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

Nanomade combines custom sensors, compact chip-on-flex electronics and edge AI signal processing in a single solution, compatible with haptic and light feedback. Touch detects the user’s presence while a deliberate press confirms the action, for reliable and intuitive control through any material. Each integration is co-designed with our clients to fit their product’s geometry, from proof of concept to industrialisation.<\/p>\n\n\n
