Summary
3D printers have revolutionized the ability to create physical objects from digital designs, but adding smart features like digital processors and conductive traces remains a challenge. A new production approach is embedding electronic components in printed objects, addressing this limitation.

· 3 pulledJust as the laser printer delivered the benefits of a printing press to personal computer users more than 40 years ago, 3D printers have made it possible for individuals to turn digital designs into physical objects.
Some printers cost less than US $1,000, and they can be used to create one-off objects or low-volume production of items.
Adding digital processors and other components remains a challenge, as does adding conductive traces to, for example, detect when someone is touching the object.
