Today I'll demonstrate how to create a 3D printed smart filament sensor on perf board using an optical encoder sensor and a controller. I designed a separate sensor housing for our filament sensor ...

Building a 3D ... with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us through the build process of a closed-loop motor with a custom optical ...

This post is about repurposing a commonly available inexpensive optical 3D printer filament sensor/detector ... This is why nowadays we can also see more advanced filament sensors made with rotary ...

Abstract: In this paper, we report a fiber-optic pressure sensor fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing of glass using direct laser ... which also serves as the pressure sensing diaphragm. And ...

There have been discussions and reviews of various aspects of 3D printing technologies in analytical chemistry; this Review highlights recent literature and trends in their applications to optical ...

A research team at the University of Stuttgart, Germany has proposed utlizing a 3D printer with ultra-short pulse laser-technology to print multi-component microlenses directly onto the surface of a ...

lithography has been developed to design and fabricate polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-based piezoelectric force sensors with a complex 3D trapezoidal-shaped microgrid structure. With the optimized ...
