    Abstract: A method of thermoforming an article from an integrated transparent conductive film, comprising: applying an ultraviolet curable transfer coating to a first surface of a recipient substrate or to a first surface of a donor substrate, wherein the first surface of the donor substrate includes a conductive coating coupled thereto; pressing the first surface of the recipient substrate and the first surface of the donor substrate together to form a stack; heating the stack and activating the ultraviolet curable transfer coating with an ultraviolet radiation source; removing the donor substrate from the stack leaving a transparent conductive layer, wherein the ultraviolet curable transfer coating remains adhered to the first surface of the recipient substrate and to the conductive coating; laser etching an electrical circuit onto a transparent conductive layer second surface to form an integrated transparent conductive film; and thermoforming the integrated transparent conductive film to form the article.
