DSEAMS

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
