| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing is expeditiously transforming the design of multifunctional materials through unprecedented control over the material distribution and architecture. This research study is focused on the development of additively manufactured multifunctional materials that inherent sensing and computing capabilities. Leveraging the design freedom of additive manufacturing techniques like fused filament fabrication and selective laser melting, the multifunctional architected materials are engineered with mechanically, thermally and electrically responsive materials. The engineered composite material enables load bearing, sensing and computing capabilities through the distributed sensing and logic embedded into the material matrix itself. This class of multifunctional materials enabled by precise manufacturing is capable of sensing external stimuli, adapting and responding through their intrinsic material properties and geometry. This paradigm shift in multifunctional material manufacturing opens new avenues for applications in wearable sensors, soft robotics and autonomous systems. |
