MorphingCircuit: An Integrated Design, Simulation, and Fabrication Workflow for Self-morphing ...
summary
An end-to-end pipeline prints flat substrates, places standard SMT parts into sinks, screen-prints conductive traces, then triggers shape change by heating so circuits self-morph into complex 3D forms. A built FEA residual-stress simulator identifies “golden areas” for minimal trace-induced distortion, improving twist/bend/coiling outcomes. Fabrication uses screen-printed silver traces with oven or hot-water 4D activation (sputter coating optional); prototypes include a light-chasing three-leg robot, a touch/hover LED tree, tunable passive components, and a soil humidity sensor that all demonstrably work.
