Abstract

The disclosure is and includes at least an apparatus, system and method printing multilayer circuits on graphics. The multilayer print may include forming an electronic human machine interface, sensor readout, or a driver circuit, by way of example, and may include successively printing at least two functional ink layers comprising at least one conductive layer and at least one dielectric layer on a substrate comprising one of a thermoform and an overmold; printing at least one non-conductive graphical ink layer in the succession of the successively printing; curing each of the successively printed layers after the printing of each of the successively printed layers, wherein the curing of the successively printed functional ink layers comprises at least an ultra-violet curing; and squeegeeing at least the at least one conductive layer with a squeegee having a low durometer.
