The paper presents a new fabrication technique for paper circuits that uses large conductive zones and subtractive processing, in contrast to the traditional approach of using thin conductive traces. This new method aims to overcome the limitations of existing paper circuit fabrication methods, which are often constrained by the precision and complexity achievable with the available tools and materials.
The authors have developed a software tool called PaperCAD that simplifies the design process by converting traditional circuit design to paper circuit design. The paper demonstrates the fabrication process using two examples - an RGB LED unit and a battery unit. The key steps include:
The authors discuss how this new fabrication technique can promote the development of new applications for paper circuits by making them more accessible and customizable. They also highlight their goal of creating a low-cost, accessible, and environmentally friendly platform for designing and fabricating customized circuit boards.
