Mist-Based Printing Puts Circuits Directly on Curved 3D Surfaces
Key Takeaways
- A new mist-based printing method deposits electronic circuits directly onto curved and three-dimensional surfaces.
- The technique uses an aerosol of fine ink droplets focused aerodynamically, allowing non-contact deposition from a standoff distance.
- Non-contact deposition helps with curvature because the print head does not need a constant gap or a flat substrate beneath it.
- Multiple inks could be layered to build antennas, dielectrics and sensing elements directly on a surface.
