Printed Heaters

Printed heaters have evolved from traditionally printed resistors with external controllers to self-regulating

Now heaters can be printed with inks that are self-regulating allowing heaters to be designed specifically for the application. This allows for a significant increase in design flexibility by eliminating the need for external control of the printed heating element. Higher temperature heaters can now also be used that exceed 200C for extended periods of time, significantly expanding performance capabilities for designers.
