Textile
Printing technology of textile sensors for the determination of pressure, strain, bending or flow rate.

Contacting of electronic components on textiles

Alternative approach: making the connection by 3d printing with electrically conductive plastics

Challenges:

  • Conductive
  • Flexible
  • Adhesion to the textile
  • Small dimensions of the printed body

Alternative sensor technology

  • Direct production and contacting with the electrical conductors in the textile
  • electrical conductors by means of 3D printing
  • Combination with protective structures possible
  • Resistive use of the conductivity of the skin
