Abstract

3D rapid prototyping equipment has progressed to the point that one can envision applications where high value customized products are additively printed into existence. PARC has been a leading innovator in this space with over a decade of experience in large area electronics, application of novel and current printing technology to industrial applications and the printing of electronic circuits and devices. We are currently applying this knowledge to the concept of printing multi-material 3 dimensional objects with electronic and/or mechanical functionality. The concept is to develop capability and provide means of manufacturing functional objects which may be difficult to manufacture or even not be manufacturable by other means. Our progress to date will be presented and future work will be discussed.
