Author: Johanna Zikulnig, Silicon Austria Labs As the sensor market surges ahead, driven by megatrends like the Internet of Things (IoT), digital healthcare, and smart packaging, it's becoming increasingly urgent to consider not just how sensors are made, but also but also what happens to them at the end of their life cycle. At Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), we are investigating a critical yet often neglected aspect of this growth from manufacturing until the end-of-life (EoL) of printed and hybrid sensors. Our research focuses on sustainability-driven design to address environmental implications. Why Now? Three Key Drivers 1. Ubiquitous Sensing The global sensor market is expanding rapidly, with an estimated annual growth of ~9% [1]. From automotive to digital health and industrial automation, sensors are being embedded everywhere to enable real-time monitoring and smart control. Driven by the rise of IoT-enabled environments, this trend will only accelerate. 2. Emergence of Single-Use Applications Fields like point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics [2] and smart packaging [3] are seeing unprecedented growth. These applications often require low-cost, disposable sensors integrated directly into products or packaging. Printed electronics have emerged as a key enabling technology in this context, offering thin, flexible, and scalable solutions that meet performance and cost demands. While functionally effective, these single-use applications raise red flags for sustainability. 3. Electro...

National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada 3D electronics afford a means to miniaturize and enhance the performance and integration of electronic devices; however, adoption of 3D-printed electronics has been delayed by the lack of processes to effectively produce high-resolution metallic interconnects with good electrical performance on complex 3D shapes. While direct-write 3D printing has demonstrated the ability to generate conformal conductive interconnects, the technique is slow and yields low print resolution. The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has developed a new fabrication approach based on tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) that can produce electronics on complex 3D shapes with high manufacturing speed, high conductivity and 3D design freedom.
