Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to highlight INKtelligent printed sensor structures using maskless depositition technologies.Design/methodology/approach: This paper begins with a general introduction to INKtelligent printing®. Starting with layout and ink development, the fabrication of printed sensors is described in detail.Findings: Printed strain gauges, thermopiles and gas sensitive films are successfully fabricated with maskless deposition technologies, offering advantages for continuous non‐destructive measurement compared to conventional sensors.Originality/value: This paper shows a new approach for customized sensor structures. The application of a resource efficient and flexible printing technique for sensor fabrication is demonstrated.Keywords
