Comparison
Printed electronics vs. wired garments
Wired connected garments have carried smart apparel this far. Printed electronics on the membrane open what comes next.
Printed electronics
Wired garments
Weight & bulk
Thin conductive film on the membrane.
Physical wire looms and junctions.
Reliability
No wires to loosen or break.
Flex points are failure points.
Coverage
Full-garment active surface.
Discrete zones connected by wiring.
Seam behaviour
Remains conductive across bonded seams.
Seams interrupt wiring; requires connectors.
Recommendation
