Additive Manufacturing of Structural Electronics

Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, also called rapid prototyping or 3D printing, is a disruptive manufacturing technique with a significant impact in electronics. With 3D printing, bulk objects with circuitry are embedded in the volume of an element or conformally coated on the surface of existing parts, allowing design and manufacturing of smaller and lighter products with fast customisation.

Scope of the Book

The book covers both materials selection and techniques. The scope also covers the research areas of additive manufacturing of passive and active components, sensors, energy storage, bioelectronics, and more.
