Method for manufacturing shape-retaining non-flat devices Ghent University
Methods are provided for manufacturing shape-retaining non-flat devices comprising elements such as components integrated on a device surface, the non-flat devices being made by deformation of a flat device. Based on the layout of a non-flat device, a layout of a flat device is first designed. A method for designing the layout of such a flat device is provided, in which the method includes inserting mechanical interconnections between pairs of elements to unambiguously define the position of the elements on a surface of the non-flat device, thus leaving zero or less than zero degrees of ...
