printed wire/circuits

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to print wire/circuits on very thin, flexible materials like paper/foil. Can I do this myself? Are there alternatives to copper, like printing with conducting ink? I'm open to any idea or suggestion. Where do I find information on these subjects?

Thanks, Hans

The good think is that there is a special Silver Conductive Pen and with it you can make conductive traces to design a circuit. Mainly it is used to repair pcb faults.

The bad thing is that you must route the circuit by hand and maybe you must use a transparency paper or another paper of same surface to avoid absorbe into it.

I don't know if there is a special ink for your printer to make your life easier but i think it's improbable in common inject printers to do that even if the ink exists.

Take a look:





Also visit some manufactures:
