ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing thin film heaters includes an automated process for applying at least one layer of ink to a conductive substrate, and forming at least one electrically conductive electrode in electrical communication with the substrate by curing the ink. When an electrical current is applied to the thin film heater, current flowing through the substrate generates heat in the substrate. In alternate embodiments, a flexographic printing process is used to overlay two similar layers of ink on a carbon impregnated substrate and cure the ink to form at least one electrode conductor.
