Will Printed Electronics & 3D Printing disrupt PCB rapid prototyping?

The vast majority of electronic circuits are currently made using Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that are both rigid and flat. The market for traditional Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) currently stands at around $60bn. This established technology is used across a variety of different final applications. Several technologies related to traditional PCBs are now emerging in the form of commercial products that address one or more of the limitations with traditional PCBs. Some of these new technologies aim to improve the current workflow by allowing traditional PCB designs to be prototyped more quickly, cheaply and locally. Other new technologies aim to fill gaps in markets such as wearable technologies where rigid PCBs have significant limitations. Finally, some new technologies promise to completely revolutionise the electronics industry by allowing fully 3D printed electronics with traces and components used anywhere inside an object.
