论文摘要
具有独特形式的原型紧凑型设备通常需要PCB制造工艺要外包,这可能是昂贵且耗时的。在本文中,我们提出了Fibercuit,这是一套快速的原型制作技术,用于使用光纤激光雕刻师制造高分辨率,柔性电路。我们展示了可以激光切割基于铜的复合材料的技术,以形成可以形成Kirigami结构的激光折叠铜基材以及使用现成的焊接糊状的激光焊料表面式电气组件。结合我们的软件管道,最终用户可以设计和制造双层和三维的灵活电路,从而表现出广泛的形式。我们通过展示一组示例,包括定制骰子,弯曲电缆,自定义端停机开关,电磁线圈,LED耳环和以Kirigami Crane形式的电路来展示纤维。
Prototyping compact devices with unique form factors often requires the PCB manufacturing process to be outsourced, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present Fibercuit, a set of rapid prototyping techniques to fabricate high-resolution, flexible circuits on-demand using a fiber laser engraver. We showcase techniques that can laser cut copper-based composites to form fine-pitch conductive traces, laser fold copper substrates that can form kirigami structures, and laser solder surface-mount electrical components using off-the-shelf soldering pastes. Combined with our software pipeline, an end user can design and fabricate flexible circuits which are dual-layer and three-dimensional, thereby exhibiting a wide range of form factors. We demonstrate Fibercuit by showcasing a set of examples, including a custom dice, flex cables, custom end-stop switches, electromagnetic coils, LED earrings and a circuit in the form of kirigami crane.
