Additively manufactured copper circuit boards for the automotive industry

Christophe Sansregret
Process development engineer
MiQro Innovation Collaboration Centre (C2MI)
Canada
Additively manufactured electronics continues to garner significant interest across multiple product applications for embedding devices within existing standard products and producing novel flexible devices. Compared with traditional copper-foil-based flexible printed circuit board (F-PCB) technologies, printed electronic circuits can accept a wider range of flexible substrate materials, can be readily integrated with other printed device functions and can exploit roll-to-roll manufacturing for extremely low cost. This presentation will discuss manufacturing methods of printed circuits and subsequent component assembly. Preliminary reliability data will also be discussed, as well as a performance comparison with traditional circuit board technology.
