In early 2026, IMAPS took over the “stewardship” of the trusted 3D InCites platform which was owned by Françoise von Trapp and her partner Martijn Pierik. Following Françoise’s retirement, the 3D InCites platform is now under the IMAPS portfolio, including its website, content library, and podcasts. Francoise and Martijn talk about the 3DI journey from its beginning to a new chapter under the IMAPS umbrella.
3DI delivers a technology and innovation spotlight for engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and students across the microelectronics and advanced packaging sectors. Content and media covers a variety of leading technologies, including device and chiplet packaging, advanced thermal solutions, AI driven packaging, 3D integration, heterogeneous integration, photonics/CPO, and next‑generation materials, to name a few.
