If it looks like a 3D printer and acts like a 3D printer, then it should be a 3D printer, if one were to follow the old adage about ducks. But that doesn't hold true for a new invention by a robotics ...

A 3D printer that dispenses conducting ink to create circuit-completed boards has garnered nearly five times its $70,000 crowdsourcing goal. The Voltera V-One 3D printer claims to be able to create ...

In designing and prototyping electronic circuit boards there is no quick or simple way to produce results. Many hours of design and development need to be expended on prototype layouts along with ...

3D printers are well on their way to eventually creating perfect replicas of almost any object we can imagine, as long as they don’t rely on any electronics inside to function. But devices like the ...

Printed-circuit boards (PC boards or PCBs) are literally the foundation of many of our electronic products. These copper-clad boards – often but not always using glass-epoxy FR-4 substrate, but ...

KITCHENER — Alroy Almeida stands in front of a desktop machine that prints circuit boards on pretty much any surface — plastics, cotton, synthetics — that can also be stretched, folded, rolled or bent ...
