Currently, most traditional flexible electronic products use processes such as laser cutting and electroplating, which require multiple complex steps in the production process, including precision welding, assembly, and testing, increasing the manufacturing cost and technical threshold.
[0003] Although existing manufacturing methods can achieve a certain degree of circuit integration and structural deformation, they still have the following limitations:

[0053] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further clearly and detailedly described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples.
[0054] The present invention provides a manufacturing method of a foldable circuit structure based on dual-material 3D printing, including:
[0055] S1. Divide the foldable circuit structure into several circuit modules, and construct 3D printing models based on bimaterials for each circuit module through computer-aided design software; the 3D printing models use two types of materials, flexible materials and rigid materials. During the model construction process, design the ratio of flexible materials and rigid materials according to actual needs, and control the material thickness and distribution through pixelization technology.
[0056] S2. Add magnets and electronic component embedding slots to the 3D printing models of each circuit module, use the improved Dijkstra algorithm to plan the optimal path of the circuit slots, and then use the free-form deformation three-dimensional structure design method to design the deformable area;
[0057] The specific steps for using the improved Dijkstra algorithm to plan the optimal path of the circuit slots are as follows:
[0058] 1) Convert the magnets and electronic component embedding slots into several nodes, select a node as the starting point, and set the initial distance, predecessor node, and priority queue of the nodes;
[0059] 2) Use the Dijkstra algorithm to plan the circuit slots and add a path crossing detection mechanism;
[0060] 3) If it is detected that the path has a crossing, execute the crossing handling strategy; otherwise, update the shortest path information of the nodes;
[0061] 4) Use a heuristic evaluation mechanism to guide the path to avoid the crossing area, and dynamically adjust the route weight according to the generated path to adapt to complex layouts;
[0062] 5) After the node traversal is completed, trace back from the end point to the starting point to obtain the optimal path.
[0063] The path crossing detection mechanism is specifically: each time the distance from the current node to the adjacent node is calculated, detect whether the new path will cross the existing path.
[0064] The crossing handling strategy includes the following three strategies:
[0065] 1) Re-plan the path to avoid the crossing point;
[0066] 2) Optimize the path in subsequent calculations by increasing the weight of the crossing path;
[0067] 3) Layer the path at the physical level to avoid crossing by setting different layers.
[0068] The specific steps for using the free-form deformation three-dimensional structure design method to design the deformable area are as follows:
[0069] 1) Select the target area to be deformed in the 3D printing model and generate a control point grid within the target area;
[0070] 2) Define the multi-resolution influence range of the control points and set the weights of the control points;

[0076] S4. Embed the magnets and electronic components into the magnet and electronic component embedding grooves respectively, and add conductive ink or conductive glue in the circuit grooves to connect the circuits;
[0077] S5. Connect the individual circuit modules through the magnets to obtain a foldable circuit structure.
[0078] Example 1
[0079] A manufacturing method of a foldable circuit structure based on dual-material 3D printing, the flowchart of which is as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:
[0080] S1. As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the foldable circuit structure is divided into several circuit modules. The 3D printing models of each circuit module based on dual materials are constructed by computer-aided design software (CAD). Magnets and slots for embedding electronic components are added to the 3D printing models of each circuit module. The path of the circuit slot is planned and the deformable area is designed. Among them, the design process of the 3D printing model also includes: designing and adjusting the ratio of the flexible material and the rigid material according to specific requirements, and controlling the material thickness and distribution through pixelization technology. After adding magnets and slots for embedding electronic components to the 3D printing model, the improved Dijkstra algorithm is used to plan the optimal path of the circuit slot to ensure that the circuits do not cross each other. Then, the free-form deformation 3D structure design method is used to design the deformable area according to requirements. The above steps are all completed by the automated design software. Through the automated design software, users can quickly input design parameters and the number of models, automatically generate the 3D printing model of the deformable structure, and directly output the sliced file for printing through software calculation and optimization. The automated process simplifies the operation steps and is suitable for mass production and personalized customization. The automated design flow chart is as shown in Figure 3 the figure.
[0081] The specific steps for using the improved Dijkstra algorithm to plan the optimal path of the circuit slot are as follows:
[0082] 1) Import the module design drawing:
[0083] Import the design drawing of the circuit module in Grasshopper to ensure the visualization of the layout of the circuit slot and components.
[0084] Use the CAD drawing or graphic file to define the starting point, ending point, and obstacle positions to help the Dijkstra algorithm identify the constraints in the path planning.
[0085] 2) Create nodes and connections:
[0086] Divide the circuit slot path into multiple nodes to represent the key points on the path.
[0087] Establish connections (edges) between each node and assign weights to each edge according to the distance or path complexity.
[0088] 3) Initialize the weight matrix:
[0089] Use the matrix tool in Grasshopper to set the weight matrix for the edges between each node and its adjacent nodes.
[0090] Ensure that the weight matrix can reflect the distance of the path and the difficulty of bypassing obstacles to help the Dijkstra algorithm identify the optimal path.
[0091] 4) Set the starting point and ending point:
[0092] Specify the starting and ending nodes in GH to clarify the starting and ending points of the circuit slot path.
[0093] Use the parameter components in GH to pass the starting and ending nodes to the calculation module of Dijkstra's algorithm.
[0094] 5) Implement Dijkstra's algorithm:
[0095] Import the optimized Dijkstra's algorithm script component in Grasshopper and calculate the shortest path by looping through the nodes.
[0096] For each node, check its weight (distance) to other adjacent nodes and update the shortest path information from the starting point to the ending point.
[0097] Integrate the path crossing detection mechanism into the algorithm: When updating the path each time, detect whether the new path crosses the existing path. If it crosses, increase the weight of this path or recalculate.
[0098] 6) Path optimization and adjustment:
[0099] Ensure that the path selection avoids crossing points and obstacles as much as possible through heuristic evaluation and dynamic adjustment strategies.
[0100] Dynamically update the path weight in GH, adjust the weight according to the path crossing situation, and ensure that the generated path is reasonable in the physical layout.
[0101] 7) Output the optimal path:
[0102] Output the finally generated optimal path to the curve or polyline component in GH for visual display in Rhino software.
[0103] Mark the position and direction of the circuit slot on the final path to ensure that the circuit design meets the requirements.
[0104] The cross-processing strategy includes the following three strategies:
[0105] 1) Re-plan the path to avoid crossing points;
[0106] 2) Optimize the crossing path by increasing its weight so that this path is optimized out in subsequent calculations;
[0107] 3) At the physical level, avoid crossing by hierarchical wiring.
[0108] The specific steps for designing the deformable area using the free-form deformation three-dimensional structure design method are as follows:
[0109] 1) Select the target deformable area:
[0110] Select the area to be deformed from the imported model.
[0111] Use components such as "SubSurface" or "Cull Pattern" to extract the parts of the model that need to be deformed, ensuring that the FFD algorithm is applied only to this area.
[0112] 2) Generate a control point grid:
[0113] Generate a control point grid within the target area. The control points will be used to drive the deformation.
[0114] Use components such as "Divide Surface" or "Populate Geometry" to divide the model surface into a uniform grid to generate control points. The density of the control points can be adjusted according to the size of the area and the deformation requirements.
[0115] 3) Define the multi-resolution influence range of the control points:
[0116] Set the multi-resolution influence range of the control points to achieve flexible deformation control at different scales.
[0117] Use the "Distance" component to calculate the distance from the control points to the model points, and set weights according to the distance. The weight is high in the close range and low in the far range.
[0118] 4) Dynamically adjust the weights of the control points:
[0119] Implement dynamic adjustment of the weights of the control points to ensure that the areas close to the control points are more significantly affected, while the influence on the areas far away gradually decreases.
[0120] Use the script for optimizing the FFD algorithm above to recalculate the weights of the control points in each iteration, so that the weights are dynamically updated according to the distance when the control points move.
[0121] 5) Set the deformation parameters:
[0122] Use the "Number Slider" component to set deformation parameters such as displacement, rotation, or scaling for the control points.
[0123] The slider allows real-time adjustment of the deformation intensity and direction to achieve fine control of the deformation effect in subsequent operations.
[0124] 6) Apply interpolation to calculate the deformation effect:
[0125] Use the interpolation algorithm to spread the displacement of the control points to the entire deformation area, ensuring a smooth transition of the influence of the control points within the target area.
[0126] In GH, use "Mesh Warp" to apply the interpolation calculation between the control point positions and the model points to the entire mesh to generate a continuous deformation effect.
[0127] 7) Implement a real-time feedback mechanism:
[0128] Utilize the "Preview" component in GH to let users observe the effects immediately when adjusting the control points by displaying the deformation results in real time.
[0129] After adjusting the control points and slider parameters, immediately feedback to the model to ensure that users can evaluate and fine-tune the deformation effect instantaneously.
[0130] 8) Export the deformed model:
[0131] Use "Bake" to save the finally deformed model into the Rhino software, which is convenient for further design or exporting 3D printing files.
[0132] Export the model in a format supported by 3D printing (such as STL) to complete the design of the optimized deformed area.
[0133] S2. As Figure 4 shown, use a dual-material 3D printing device to print all circuit modules according to the 3D printing model; specifically include: by the way of layer-by-layer stacking, print flexible materials (such as TPU, TPE, etc.) and rigid materials (such as PLA, PETG, etc.) respectively, embed the rigid materials into the flexible materials to achieve the elastic deformability and mechanical strength of the product. In this process, the circuit grooves, magnets, and electronic component embedding grooves are also formed synchronously.
[0134] After printing is completed, embed the magnets and electronic components into the magnet and electronic component embedding grooves respectively, and add conductive ink or conductive glue in the circuit grooves to connect the circuits to make it achieve electrical functions; the magnets are used for modular physical connection and circuit connection, and combine each module through magnetic force to achieve the functions of detachable and expandable.
[0135] Connect each circuit module through magnets to obtain a foldable circuit structure. Each module is assembled into a complete system through magnetic connection to ensure the stability of electrical and mechanical structure connections. According to the needs, users can detach and replace different modules to achieve rapid expansion and customization of functions. Finally, conduct functional tests to ensure that the product can still work properly under multiple deformation states.
[0136] The present invention simplifies the production process. By introducing dual-material 3D printing technology, it simplifies the manufacturing process of deformable intelligent circuits and reduces the dependence on processes such as welding and cutting. It improves manufacturing efficiency and product performance. By embedding rigid materials in flexible materials, it ensures that the product is flexible and deformable while having sufficient mechanical strength to adapt to various application scenarios. The present invention designs a system based on magnetic module connection, enabling the product to be disassembled, assembled, and expanded even after embedding the circuit, further improving the maintainability and scalability of the product. By reducing manufacturing costs and simplifying the production process, the present invention enables non-professional users to easily design and manufacture intelligent deformable electronic products, which have good popularity and market prospects.
[0137] As Figure 5 shown, the present invention can be widely applied to the following specific scenarios:
[0138] 1. Intelligent desktop devices: By using deformable circuit design and modular installation, products such as desktop lamps and smart speakers that can adaptively deform can be manufactured, facilitating users to adjust the device form according to their needs.
[0139] 2. Wearable electronic devices: Embedding sensors and displays in flexible circuits to manufacture wearable devices such as stretchable and bendable smart bracelets and smart gloves to meet the personalized needs of different users.
[0140] 3. Medical and health devices: Manufacturing intelligent flexible medical devices, combined with deformable design, to provide personalized medical detection and rehabilitation products for patients.
[0141] 4. Foldable electronic devices: By modular assembly and foldable design, manufacturing devices such as smart players and mobile phones with portability and function expandability.

[0146] c) Slot generation: The user selects points on the model surface and inputs the radius, and the system automatically uses Boolean operations (such as difference set, intersection, etc.) to cut off a part of the model to create slots, as Figure 2 (b);
[0147] d) Circuit slot generation: When the user determines the positions of the electronic components and the magnets, the system uses the Dijkstra algorithm to plan the optimal path and automatically generates non-crossing circuit slot paths. This enables the user to avoid manual circuit design and improves production efficiency, as shown in Figure 2 (c);
[0148] e) Deformation structure generation: After all the slots are calculated, the user selects the positions that need to be deformed, and the system performs local or global deformation control on the three-dimensional geometry through the FFD deformation algorithm, as shown in Figure 2 (d);
