Ribbed trim panel for thermal spraying of electrical circuit

摘要

A trim panel includes a plurality of ribs projecting from a surface of the trim panel. Fluent, conductive material is sprayed onto the ribs at an angle such that distinct electrical traces are formed on each rib. The gauge of each electrical trace can be determined by varying the height of each rib. The gauge of each electrical trace can also be determined by varying the angle of the rib relative to the surface of the trim panel.
