Just like any PCB, you would have to design that into the device, using things like the resistivity of the material making the conductive trace and it's dimensions, of course. But also consider the fact that anything you're designing like this would be extremely low power! Imaging the computing capabilities using just micropower, and the battery life we could get! Esp with new battery technologies....
There's a company that can already do that. Not sure which one, but Korea, Israel, China and Germany are all working on 3d printing with liquid metals, plastics and other compounds. This is undoubtedly the future of everything.
Part of it utilizes a new "jet" technology that can extrude really small but consistent amounts of material, and of course, new materials like very conductive inks & pastes, plus of course, non-conductive ones to insulate between layers.

Love the technology but is it an efficient process?
I wonder how much amperage a trace could take before heating up and being deformed? Really cool!

I can't wait till your budget $250 3d printer can do this in like 10 years
This is so genius and amazing. If it can print p type and n type silicon semiconductors, that would be overpowered

Yes! That's what I'm waiting on...! That will be truly amazing.
What kind of 3d printers are you using to make this???
