• Resumen

  • For the past few months, a factory hi China has been spitting out a new kind of smartphone. Inside each is an antenna that was 3D-printed directly onto the plastic housing. It doesn't sound like much, but this ability to print electronic components at the scale and speed required by the smartphone industry is new. It has the potential to usher in a world where sensors and electronics are embedded in everything around people. Here, Hadson discusses how circuits can now be 3D-printed directly into smartphones, which means that the era of smart factories is here.
