New tech enables 3D printing electronics without semiconductors
Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or even special fabrication technology.
Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or even special fabrication technology. With 3D printing, any of a range of materials including thermoplastic filaments, resin, ceramic, and metal, are laid down in successive thin layers to form a three-dimensional object. With a biodegradable material and no need for cleanrooms, this method for making simple electronics could find use in places where high-end fabrication is difficult – like remote research labs and "on board spacecraft."
