Description

Equipped with an inkjet printer and conductive ink, we will first take a look at the basic qualities of printed electronics, the digital printing method, as well as characteristics of different types of paper. We will experiment with the possibilities of printed circuits with an inkjet printer and will combine printed touch sensors, potentiometers, or loud speakers with electronic components. Using different folding techniques such as Origami and papercraft, the students will design little 3D paper objects making use of printed electric circuits.

Kursinhalt

Ausgerüstet mit Inkjetdrucker und leitfähiger Tinte beschäftigen wir uns zunächst mit den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und Eigenschaften von gedruckter Elektronik, dem Digitaldruckverfahren und dem Werkstoff Papier. Wir testen die Möglichkeiten von gedruckter Elektronik mit Inkjet und werden Touchensoren, Potentiometer oder Lautsprecher drucken und mit elektronischen Bauteilen kombinieren. Inspiriert von verschiedenen Falttechniken, Origami und Papercraft, konzipieren die Studierenden kleine 3D-Papierobjekte, die wir mit gedruckten Leiterbahnen versehen.
