Textile Electronic Design

WEARABLE ELECTRONICS

Innovation and Design

BioAge leads in designing, manufacturing, and producing electronic circuits on textiles, using both additive (such as printing and stitching) and subtractive processes, developed in-house to maximize performance and innovation.

Materials

BioAge uses a wide range of textiles, from traditional fabrics like cotton to advanced options like polyester coated with conductive films, to create electronic circuits that merge technology with flexibility.

Processes

BioAge has developed various additive and subtractive processes to best work with textile substrates, including:

  • Screen printing with functional inks
  • Conductive thread stitching with CNC robots
  • Chemical etching

Devices Printable on Fabric

  • Electroluminescent displays
  • RF antennas for data transmission
  • RF antennas for energy transmission
  • Electronic circuits with passive components
  • Printed heating elements
  • Force and pressure sensors
  • Interdigitated sensors
  • Capacitive sensors
  • And many more – contact us for details

Software Tools

BioAge has developed software applications for designing complex printed electronic circuits with multiple layers, and for synthesizing printable components, such as capacitors, resistors, interdigitated structures, antennas, and more.

Encapsulation

BioAge has developed processes to encapsulate small flexible electronic circuits in soft or rigid polymer matrices (hybrid integration). These processes produce “electronic buttons” with advanced functionalities applicable to textile electronic circuits.
