3D Printed Devices: Sensors and Actuators 3D printing or additive manufacturing has been one of the most revolutionary developments in rapid prototyping. This type of manufacturing has now developed to the degree that it can be used to manufacture complex devices, particularly sensors and actuators, without the need of traditional molds. The engineering potential that emerge from the creation of moldless devices are boundless, and engineers and materials scientists are urgently in need of increased familiarity with these possibilities. 3D Printed Devices meets this need with a timely, comprehensive overview to 3D printing techniques in the field of sensors and actuators. Students, researchers, and scientists in industry can all benefit from this volume's robust knowledge of both the current and future state of this growing field. Thoroughly engaged with both the possibilities and limitations of 3D printed devices, the book is a must-own for anyone looking to stand on the cutting edge of our technological future. 3D Printed Devices readers will also find: Analysis of both physical and chemical sensors, as well as different types of actuators including electrically or thermally actuated Detailed discussion of sensor and actuator materials including gels, polymers, composites, and more Detailed know-how required to design, fabricate, and innovate 3D printed devices 3D Printed Devices is an indispensable resource for academic researchers and industrial scientists in engineering and the physical sciences. It caters to those working in the cutting-edge fields of sensors, robotics, 3D printing, electronic materials, and electrochemistry. This book is also perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students eager to delve into these dynamic and rapidly evolving areas.
