Abstract

Recent advances in 3D printed passive sensors have opened up new markets in a variety of applications. In order to function, passive sensors do not need any outside power and directly create an output response. These sensors either measure pressure or humidity or temperature or smoke or gases such as ammonia, SO2, CO, and CO2. Advanced 3D filaments/materials are enabling industry to design and manufacture reliable, accurate, and cost-effective sensors rapidly to address the requirements of food and drug industry, monitoring the environment, and biomedical, renewable energy, soft robotics-related applications. The paper will highlight improvements in the manufacture of these sensors and present various case studies. A summary of the market shares of 3D printed sensors will be presented.
