When will 3-D printing for prototyping be at your favorite circuit shop?
It will be sooner than you think - at least for prototyping. One system utilizing an ink containing nano silver particles for fine line printing will be made available commercially by the end of this year. It will be demonstrated at the CEG show in LAs Vegas January 2017. The deposited circuit traces may be photonically cured (sintered). HP announced a 3_D new system that is 10 times faster than its predecessors. The insulating substrate may be UV cured epoxy. One such system for epoxy has already been demonstrated in the UK.

8 年Xerox has a new printed memory on a flexible substrate. I'll check it out when I am back in the U.S.
