Motivation

In recent years, advances in electronic printing have established this technology as a key tool for the manufacturing of sensors, actuators, and electronic circuits, using techniques such as screen printing, flexography, and direct ink writing. These developments have enabled the creation of innovative applications, such as pressure sensors, electrodes, and heating systems on flexible substrates.

The growing use of wearable devices has highlighted the need to further develop this technology to address challenges related to size and weight reduction, improved durability (resistance to washing, friction, sweat, etc.), and the optimization of manufacturing costs. Likewise, electronic printing has cross-sector applications in areas such as healthcare, automotive, packaging, logistics, and gamification, demonstrating its versatility and high potential for impact.
