Demonstration of Fibercuit: Techniques to Prototype High-Resolution Flexible and Kirigami Circuits with a Fiber Laser Engraver

Authors Info & Claims
Published:26 October 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this demonstration, we showcase Fibercuit [Yan et al. 2022], a set of rapid prototyping techniques to fabricate high-resolution, flexible, and kirigami circuits using a fiber laser engraver. A set of examples will be presented in this demo, including custom dice, flex cables, custom end-stop switches, electromagnetic coils, LED earrings and a kirigami crane circuit designed and fabricated using our techniques.
