Abstract
Printing technologies are well known in the field of graphics. Since the 1970, there is a lot effort made to use such coating technologies to realize electrical components, such as sensors, actuators and heating elements. To realize these complex multilayers systems, the coating technologies and the materials need to be well known, to guarantee a stable process over the entire production process. Therefore, different coating technologies, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed within the presentation. Besides the coating itself process steps in advance and afterwards are shown, to present the wide range of different applications that can be realized with these coating technologies.
