Abstract

An article comprised of a body having a conductor pattern on at least one non-planar and non-flexible surface thereof. The article is prepared by using a three-dimensional mask having an interior surface which is a mirror image replica of the surface of the body on which the conductors are to be formed. The surface of the body is provided with material which is capable of initiating conductor formation. The interior surface of the mask then is placed over the body and in substantial registry therewith. The mask and the body then are exposed to radiation or moving material to delineate the conductor pattern. Subsequently, the mask is removed and conductors are formed.
