A Kickstarter campaign offering a 3D printer that prints circuit boards onto a variety of materials has attracted almost $57,000 (£35,900, or AU$38,488) of funding, beating its $30,000 (£18,845, or AU$32,230) goal one day after launching.
The EX1 printer, which is being developed by Australia-based company Cartesian, works in a similar way to desktop inkjet printers.
But instead of laying down ink, it prints a circuit board image using two different chemicals onto a variety of materials - including plastic, wood, ceramic, silicone, fabric or paper - that react to produce silver nano particles when mixed together.
