Integrating sensing capabilities into 3D printable metamaterial structures
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Additive Manufacturing (AM) of thermoplastic polymers, also known as 3D Printing or Fused Filaments Fabrication (FFF), is a new technology allowing the fabrication of parts of complex geometries by the deposition of melted thermoplastic filaments. New applications are emerging as novel materials and AM methods are continuously being developed. The main goal of this international collaborative project is to integrate sensing capabilities into 3D printable metamaterial structures comprised of shear wall cells, which enables the creation of monolithic input devices for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We aim at creating metamaterial devices that can sense various interactions, such as acceleration, binary state, shear, and applied force. This work will be an important first step towards development of 3D-printable intelligent mechanical metamaterials that can sense, actuate, and aid with computing and communication.
