Dynamic percolation for electrical conductivity development in a stretchable wire printed on a thermoplastic substrate can be induced utilizing tensile deformation during a vacuum-forming process to achieve a three-dimensional (3D) wire shape. This phenomenon successfully suppresses the electrical conductivity variation in the wires, ensuring the formation of reliable 3D electric circuits.
