Abstract
We present a design and fabrication method for converting static 3D models into motion-capable, self-sensing structures using multi-material FDM 3D printing. Our method allows users to configure deformation behaviors, automatically generate printable circuits, and fabricate interactive objects using 3D printing in a single step without post-assembly or manual sensor integration. The 3D-printed circuits enable real-time detection of bending motions through a time-division multiplexing (TDM) circuit scheme. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through sensing performance evaluation and several application examples.
