Hi,
A colleague sent me the link below to the Voltera V-One Conductive Ink Printer that is designed to lay tracks down onto either ridged or flexible circuit board substrate (or plastic or almost anything flat).
I understand that conductive ink can also be used to fill through hole vias.
The Voltera conductive ink printer can read Gerber files in directly.
These are of interest as it could mean a prototype circuit could be "produced & tested" in an afternoon.
I'm wondering if anyone has used either the Voltera printer (or another brand) & how successful they have found them in real life.

Well, in theory it could print multiple materials: insulators (for trace crossings), ink for legend, masking ink for the solder mask. Resistors and caps could be printed. Maybe even thick film devices. Probably would require significant mind shift in how boards are designed and laid out. Plus, a lot of new tools and materials.
Theory might be a bit ahead of reality, though...
