Conducive Ballpoint Pens

'Circuit Scribe' Lets You Make Circuits Just By Doodling On Paper

— November 27, 2013 — Tech
If you're an engineer or simply a circuit enthusiast, Circuit Scribe invented by Electroninks Incorporated is perfect for you; the product is literally a ballpoint pen that uses a conductive (a conductivity of 50-100 milliohms per square per mil) silver ink that makes drawing circuits, that much easier and that much faster.

This instantaneous system of making circuits is revolutionary, in the past, circuit pens were made from actual ink that needed to be dried for 24 hours. Circuit Scribe has completely reinvented this notion through the use of only a ballpoint pen. There is no shaking involved, no squeezing, no mess and most importantly, there's no need to wait for it to dry.

This Kickstarter project is extremely easy to use and most importantly, it's cheaper!
Trend Themes
1. Instant Circuit-making - Circuit Scribe's conductive ballpoint pen allows for the instantaneous creation of circuits, disrupting traditional circuit-making methods that require waiting for ink to dry.
2. Low-cost Circuitry - The inexpensive and accessible Circuit Scribe Kickstarter project allows for the democratization of circuit-making, disrupting the high cost of traditional electronic prototyping.
3. Technology Education - Circuit Scribe's maker-friendly approach to circuit-making and accessibility has the potential to disrupt technology education by allowing anyone to learn circuitry quickly with ease.
Industry Implications
1. Electronics Manufacturing - Circuit Scribe's conductive pen technology has the potential to disrupt traditional electronics manufacturing by streamlining and simplifying the circuit-making process.
2. STEM Education - The accessibility and affordability of Circuit Scribe's technology can disrupt STEM education by democratizing access to circuit-making and providing a user-friendly introduction to electronics.
3. Art Supplies - Circuit Scribe's conductive ink ballpoint pen has the potential to disrupt the traditional art supply market by offering a new application for pens and ink, allowing artists to create interactive and technological works of art.
