- Sensors play a vital role in the industry transformation. Commercialsensors such as force sensors have limited options in shapes, stiffness, measuringranges, etc. Customized force sensors optimized for the production environmentcan greatly increase the integration workflow and avoid the trade-off in design freedomof using commercial sensors. 3D printing, as a rapid prototyping technology,offers great potential in fabricating force sensors customized to a specific application.However, most of the existing 3D printed force sensors are limited to onedirectionalsensing, while most of them use materials developed in-house. In thisstudy, a fully 3D printed force sensor using commercial conductive 3D printing materialsis presented. By utilizing the resistance change when under load, the sensorcan estimate the applied force in multiple directions. The resistive performance ofthe prototype 3D printed force sensor is first characterized and then validated in acase study.
