最近开发的导电喷墨打印工艺使导电电路能够快速、廉价、轻松地使用消费级喷墨打印机创建。在其基本形式中，该技术支持柔性基板上的单层布线。这可能是普惠计算研究的一个有价值的工具，因为它允许简单的电子电路和设备快速构建和迭代，类似于使用3D打印机制作机械结构的原型。它可以快速创建触摸和接近敏感的表面，切割和折叠印刷的导电图案，并用现成的电子元件和定制的子电路来增强它们。作者介绍了导电喷墨打印的可能性，汇集了他们以前发表的结果，并介绍了他们最新的见解和发现。他们认为这些打印和制造技术是希望制造各种功能设备原型的研究人员和从业者的一套工具。他们的目标是使其他人能够理解导电喷墨打印在一系列普适计算应用中的优点、缺点和适用性。这篇文章是关于印刷和制造的特刊的一部分。
The recently developed conductive inkjet printing process enables conductive circuits to be created quickly, cheaply, and easily using a consumer-grade inkjet printer. In its basic form, the technique supports a single layer of wiring on a flexible substrate. This can be a valuable tool for pervasive computing research because it allows simple electronic circuits and devices to be built and iterated quickly, in an analogous manner to the use of 3D printers for prototyping mechanical structures. It is possible to rapidly create touch- and proximity-sensitive surfaces, to cut and fold the printed conductive patterns, and to augment them with off-the-shelf electronic components and custom-made subcircuits. The authors present the possibilities enabled by conductive inkjet printing, bringing together their previously published results and presenting their latest insights and findings. They consider these printing and fabrication techniques as a suite of tools for researchers and practitioners who wish to fabricate a variety of functional device prototypes. They aim to enable others to understand the strengths, weaknesses, and applicability of conductive inkjet printing across a range of pervasive computing applications. This article is part of a special issue on printing and fabrication.
