Additive manufacturing and ink substrate research opens new doors for flexible circuits
Research in printed and flexible hybrid electronics (P-FHE) has led in recent years to the rapid expansion of innovative applications. Research funded by national sources, as well as leading tech companies, has underpinned growing outputs from Oregon State University. Additive manufacturing, the method used to create P-FHE, has seen specific advancements in ink substrates used in the manufacturing process. Further, a deeper understanding of 3D printers has allowed even more pioneering work in the field.
