3D Printed Conductive Polymer-Based Pressure Sensor for Wearable Applications
Wearable pressure sensors have become increasingly vital in various fields, such as healthcare and robotics. Wearable pressure sensors allow for precise health monitoring, motion detection, and human-machine interaction since signals are caused by mechanical deformation. However, current manufacturing methods cause excess waste and limited design freedom due to complex layering methods. The proposed research addresses this issue by using vat photopolymerization (VPP) to enable precise control of geometry with limited waste. VPP uses ultraviolet rays to cure photocurable resin, allowing for an extremely precise manufacturing process and a more sustainable and efficient method for creating such devices.
