Method for manufacturing an electronic component is provided. The method includes manufacturing elements that are produced by an additive manufacturing process. Moreover, the elements are produced in the same plane or out of plain with one or more foil substrates. The elements may be various structures, including, for example, connectors, electrical components (e.g., a resistor, a capacitor, a switch, and/or the like), and/or any other suitable electrical elements and/or structures.
