A new technique, developed through an academic degree project at the University of Borås, Sweden. Through this technique compound materials with electrically conductive properties, 3D prints are done directly on textiles. And this many stages of the method are efficiently eliminated.

What is presently written with screen or Inkjet technology could be achieved by printing directly on the textiles with a 3-D printer. This can significantly reduce the production time as well as other complications for the production of sensible and useful textiles. A brand new polymeric material with electrically conductive properties used as a feeding material in the 3-D printer. It is a nanocomposite mixture of a compound, mixed electrically conductive. Essentially they contain Nano fillers, together with carbon nano tubes and carbon. The aim of the analysis is to develop associate integrated and tailor-made production methodfor sensible and useful textiles that at the same time uses less water, energy, chemicals and reduce material waste associated at the same time that leaves little imprint on the atmosphere.

Another benefit is that it is possible to induce tailored production with printing the nanocomposite directly on the textile material on the precise places wherever required with required mix of compound and carbon nano particles. The desired properties of electrically conductive 3D printer is evaluated once the filament has passed through the 3D printer, the compositions of the nanocomposite before and once 3D printing is in a position to regulate the parameters and their changes once printing as 3D printing on textiles may be a novel technology.

The adhesion of polymers and nano composites on textiles have not been totally explored, the analysis remains on. Examples of possible applications of for the new method technique are within the production of sensible bandages, VR gloves, clothes with sensing element and warmth properties, rescue instrumentation, sports clothes that sense blood heat, medical instrumentation, the automotive, part and space business, etc. This can be appliedcommercially once you are able to regulate precisely wherever the conductive material ought to be placed on the textile material and the way the conductive property ought to operate.
