Additive‐Manufacturing‐Based Flexible Tactile Sensors

ABSTRACT Flexible tactile sensors are rapidly evolving toward high‐resolution, multimodal sensing and large‐area integrability, but traditional manufacturing processes face inherent limitations in complex 3D structure construction, material system compatibility, and fast and efficient manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (AM) technology, with its unique advantages such as on‐demand forming, high structural freedom, and multi‐material collaborative processing, is becoming a core driving force for breakthroughs in sensing performance and integration, moving the field toward cross‐process integration and accelerated innovation. However, AM processes and applications have not yet formed a complete system, and the…
