Design, discover, create.
Your design and electronics projects are about to change forever.
Paint and screen print circuits and sensors, or use as a conductive adhesive on almost anything including paper, plastic, textiles and conventional electronics.
For permanent applications, or to create multi-layer circuitry, Electric Paint can be insulated using standard acrylic or water-based paints.
Works with:
Touch Board, Pi Cap, electrical components, prototyping materials, PCBs, microcontrollers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, MaKey MaKey and e‐textiles.
Use with the Touch Board or Pi Cap to make touch sensors.
