System and process for manufacturing custom electronics by combining traditional electronics with printable electronics

A system for creating a custom printed circuit with one or more desired electronic functions on a substrate pre-provided with a set of conventional interconnected electronic devices comprising:

• a) a processor configured to design an interconnection pattern between the set of interconnected electronic devices to create the one or more electronic functions;
• and
• b) a direct printing device configured to print the interconnection pattern on the substrate to provide the custom printed circuit board with the one or more desired electronic functions.

A system for creating a custom printed circuit with one or more desired electronic functions using a master substrate pre-provided with one or more conventional integrated circuits, and one or more sub-substrates fixedly placed on the master substrate, wherein each sub-substrate comprises one or more interconnected electronic devices to perform one or more electronic sub-functions, comprising:

• a) a processor configured to design an interconnection pattern between the one or more sub-substrates and the pre-provided conventional integrated circuits on the master substrate, wherein one or more sub-substrates has been fixedly placed on the master substrate;
• and
• e) a direct printing device configured to print the interconnection pattern on the one or more substrates to provide the custom printed circuit with one or more of the desired electronic function that is a combination of the sub-functions of the sets of interconnected electronic devices.

A computer-readable medium containing a computer program for creating a custom printed circuit with one or more desired electronic functions on a substrate provided with a set of conventional interconnected electronic devices, wherein the computer program performs the steps of:

• a) designing an interconnection pattern between the set of interconnected electronic devices to create the one or more electronic functions;
• and
• b) causing a direct printing device to print the interconnection pattern on the substrate to provide the custom printed circuit board with the one or more desired electronic functions.
