Liquid metal printing is integral to the flexible electronics field. Additive manufacturing enables fast fabrication of intricate designs and circuitry. The field features a range of products including electrically conductive textiles; bendable displays; sensors for torque, pressure, and other types of strain; wearable sensor suits, such as those used in the development of video games; antennae; and biomedical sensors. Soft robots, flexible computer screens, and other stretchable electronic devices also can be created.
