PhD students create custom 3D printed Diwali greetings card on glass stack
Aarju Mathew Koshy and Neha Sharma, PhD students of Prof Parasuraman Swaminathan from the Electronic Materials and Thin Films Group, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT Madras, have developed a custom 3D printed Diwali greetings card on a glass stack. The card features LEDs embedded inside the glass stack, connected by a new patented ink that provides transparent interconnections and allows controlling the resistance to avoid the use of resistors. The printed circuit is laminated using polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which protects it from environmental degradation. The greeting message is written using a fabric paint tailored to be of printable viscosity in desired colours. The card is a novel demonstration of the potential of 3D printing technology for creating functional and aesthetic electronic devices. See More
