3D-printing and wet metallization for uniaxial and multi-axial accelerometers

摘要

In recent years, 3D-printing techniques are attracting increasing interest because of the variety of possible applications (i.e. biomedical applications, design), the large versatility and relative low-costs. Moreover, by combining the 3D-printing technology with other processes (i.e. wet metallization), it is possible to provide an innovative, high-customizable and cheap fabrication procedure for sensors, such as accelerometers. In this work, the design and the fabrication of a uniaxial and a multi-axial accelerometers are proposed from the simulation to the final prototyping.
