So, Apparently You Can Print Heat Now?

Yeah, we’re talking about flexible heaters. Not some sci-fi concept, but real, screen-printed, paper-thin heaters that are redefining how we think about warmth.

Instead of bulky wires or clunky coils, these heaters use conductive inks printed directly onto flexible substrates like polyimide or polyester. Imagine giving heat a sleek upgrade that can bend, flex, and even stretch.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

They use resistive heating elements and conductive busbars printed on thin material layers

Designed to fit into tight spaces, curved surfaces, or even wearable tech

Manufactured by Butler Technologies, where design freedom meets high-performance function

Ideal for heated clothing, aerospace panels, medical patches, and automotive interiors

Fun fact: Flexible heaters can go where traditional heaters can’t. Whether it’s inside gloves or wrapped around oddly-shaped components, they bring heat exactly where you need it, without the bulk.
