“…With a growing interest in stretchable interfaces, novel solutions are required to enable custom stretchable circuits. While initial work in this area has demonstrated how to realize stretchable sensors [32,42,44,46,49] and displays [46], recent research has demonstrated a considerably advanced fabrication technique that enables multi-layer stretchable devices including off-the-shelf components [26]. The approach combines silicone casting with laser patterning.…”

“…Stretchable interfaces are receiving growing attention. They allow designers to integrate interfaces in materials with elastic properties, such as textiles [32,42] or human skin [44], and enable novel physical interactions [38].…”

“…However, creating functional prototypes to explore interaction with stretchable interfaces remains difficult. Prior work has relied on fabrication processes such as casting and sandwiching silicone layers with embedded conductors [26,44,46] or stitching conductive yarn in textiles [32,42]. While these processes enable versatile circuit capabilities, they are time-consuming and rather complex.…”

This paper introduces LASEC, the first technique for instant do-it-yourself fabrication of circuits with custom stretchability on a conventional laser cutter and in a single pass. The approach is based on integrated cutting and ablation of a two-layer material using parametric design patterns. These patterns enable the designer to customize the desired stretchability of the circuit, to combine stretchable with nonstretchable areas, or to integrate areas of different stretchability. For adding circuits on such stretchable cut patterns, we contribute routing strategies and a real-time routing algorithm. An interactive design tool assists designers by automatically generating patterns and circuits from a high-level specification of the desired interface. The approach is compatible with off-the-shelf materials and can realize transparent interfaces. Several application examples demonstrate the versatility of the novel technique for applications in wearable computing, interactive textiles, and stretchable input devices.

“…Ideal for wearable applications, e-textile fabrication requires either trained skills or dedicated hardware. Prototyping techniques involve additive methods such as sewing and stitching using conductive yarn, either manually [56] or digitally assisted [13,15], while subtractive methods cut conductive fabric [2], and hybrid methods combine both [40]. Screen printing has also been used to create e-textiles [21].…”

“…It is developed with sensors that only measure the resistance changes due to deformation of the textile (e.g. bending [5], pressing [13], or stretching [32]), or using conductive yarn to make switch-like connections. The interactions built on these inputs are thus equally limited and error-prone as, for instance, a stretch creates the same effect as a squeeze.…”
