👉 Printed computing, also known as printed circuit board (PCB) technology or printed electronics, is a method of manufacturing electronic circuits and components by printing them directly onto a substrate, typically a flexible or rigid material such as plastic or metal. This process involves transferring ink or conductive materials onto the substrate using techniques like screen printing, inkjet printing, or laser printing. Printed electronics enables the creation of compact, flexible, and cost-effective electronic devices, including sensors, displays, and circuits for wearable technology and IoT applications. By eliminating the need for traditional semiconductor fabrication processes, printed computing offers advantages in terms of scalability, customization, and reduced production costs, making it a promising technology for the future of electronics.
