3D structural electronics is a new paradigm in fabricating electronics with high design complexity. Basically, manufacturing of 3D structural electronics consists of several processes: structure building, wire creation, and pick-and-place of electrical components. In this work, a 3D structure was built in a commercial AM machine, and conductive wires were created on the 3D structure with a predetermined design of an electronic circuit. Generally, 2D wire paths are projected to a 3D surface, and a tool path for the wire is generated in advance. And a direct printing device follows the tool path to draw the conductive wires on the …
