Additive Manufacturing of Electronics is transforming the production of electronic devices by allowing customized designs with complex three-dimensional geometries and flexible structures. In this study, we demonstrated 3D printing of various passive electronic components, including resistors (R), capacitors (C), inductors (L), and filters (RC, LC, RLC). An additive electronics printer simultaneously capable of depositing conductive materials (silver ink) and dielectric material (acrylic ink) on the substrate was used in this work which enables the fabrication of embedded circuits with complex geometry. 3D printing of embedded resistors, capacitors, and inductors was demonstrated to analyze the performance of those electronic filters. We have studied the electrical properties of these components by studying their resistance, capacitance, inductance, and charging and discharging behaviors based on the components’ geometric configurations. We investigated how structural parameters influence the performance of 3D-printed passive components and explored the process’s potential for manufacturing various embedded electronics with customizable features. |
