Fibercuit: Prototyping High-Resolution Flexible and Kirigami Circuits with a Fiber Laser Engraver
Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and …, 2022•dl.acm.org
Prototyping compact devices with unique form factors often requires the PCB manufacturing
process to be outsourced, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we
present Fibercuit, a set of rapid prototyping techniques to fabricate high-resolution, flexible
circuits on-demand using a fiber laser engraver. We showcase techniques that can laser cut
copper-based composites to form fine-pitch conductive traces, laser fold copper substrates
that can form kirigami structures, and laser solder surface-mount electrical components …

Prototyping compact devices with unique form factors often requires the PCB manufacturing process to be outsourced, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present Fibercuit, a set of rapid prototyping techniques to fabricate high-resolution, flexible circuits on-demand using a fiber laser engraver. We showcase techniques that can laser cut copper-based composites to form fine-pitch conductive traces, laser fold copper substrates that can form kirigami structures, and laser solder surface-mount electrical components using off-the-shelf soldering pastes. Combined with our software pipeline, an end user can design and fabricate flexible circuits which are dual-layer and three-dimensional, thereby exhibiting a wide range of form factors. We demonstrate Fibercuit by showcasing a set of examples, including a custom dice, flex cables, custom end-stop switches, electromagnetic coils, LED earrings and a circuit in the form of kirigami crane.
