Looks like some researchers at Georgia Tech have come up with a good way to just print conductive material with inkjet printers. They suggest using silver epoxy to "solder" the parts. Neat stuff.
Here's a link to the release (http://www.news.gatech.edu/2013/11/05/georgia-tech-develops-inkjet-based-circuits-fraction-time-and-cost?repost=yesdude)

That is pretty slick. I've seen the glass PCB tutorial on YouTube...this kind of reminds me of it.

Hey! O dint know what kind of material they are using but printable electronics are quite developed! I work for a chemical company that devolp such materials ( not my projects :( ) . We presented in a conference 4 years ago a simple circuit printed on paper! A LED was connected to it and a dv pS! It works fine! The main application is for supermarkets! With a sensor on your supermarket car , would be possible to know right away how much u would expend in the end using cr kind of codes! Maybe soon we can use conductive plastic on 3D printers to build our enclosures as we want!
Cheers
