Embedded sensors (ESs) are used in smart materials to enable continuous and permanent measurements of their structural integrity, while sensing technology involves developing sensors, sensory systems, or smart materials that monitor a wide range of properties of materials. Incorporating 3D-printed sensors into hosting structures has grown in popularity because of improved assembly processes, reduced system complexity, and lower fabrication costs. 3D-printed sensors can be embedded into structures and attached to surfaces through two methods: attaching to surfaces or embedding in 3D-printed sensors. We discussed various additive manufacturing techniques for fabricating sensors in this review. We also discussed the many strategies for manufacturing sensors using additive manufacturing, as well as how sensors are integrated into the manufacturing process. The review also explained the fundamental mechanisms used in sensors and their applications. The study demonstrated that embedded 3D printing sensors facilitate the development of additive sensor materials for smart goods and the Internet of Things.

Lattice structures are a group of cellular materials composed of regular repeating unit cells. Due to their extraordinary mechanical properties, such as specific mechanical strength, ultra-low density, negative Poisson’s ratio, etc., lattice structures have been widely applied in the fields of aviation and aerospace, medical devices, architecture, and automobiles. Hybrid additive manufacturing (HAM), an integrated manufacturing technology of 3D printing processes and other complementary processes, is becoming a competent candidate for conveniently delivering lattice structures with multifunctionalities, not just mechanical aspects. This work proposes a HAM technology that combines vat photopolymerization (VPP) and electroless plating process to fabricate smart metal-coated lattice structures. VPP 3D printing process is applied to create a highly precise polymer lattice structure, and thereafter electroless plating is conducted to deposit a thin layer of metal, which could be used as a resistive sensor for monitoring the mechanical loading on the structure. Ni-P layer and copper layer were successfully obtained with the resistivity of 8.2×10−7Ω⋅m and 2.0 ×10−8 Ω⋅m, respectively. Smart lattice structures with force-loading self-sensing functionality are fabricated to prove the feasibility of this HAM technology for fabricating multifunctional polymer-metal lattice composites.

With increasing interest in the rapid development of lattice structures, hybrid additive manufacturing (HAM) technology has become a competent alternative to traditional solutions such as water jet cutting and investment casting. Herein, a HAM technology that combines vat photopolymerization (VPP) and electroless/electroplating processes is developed for the fabrication of multifunctional polymer-metal lattice composites. A VPP 3D printing process is used to deliver complex lattice frameworks, and afterward, electroless plating is employed to deposit a thin layer of nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) conductive seed layer. With the subsequent electroplating process, the thickness of the copper layer can reach 40 μm within 1 h and the resistivity is around 1.9×10−8 Ω⋅m, which is quite close to pure copper (1.7 ×10−8 Ω⋅m). The thick metal shell can largely enhance the mechanical performance of lattice structures, including structural strength, ductility, and stiffness, and meanwhile provide current supply capability for electrical applications. With this technology, the frame arms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are developed to demonstrate the application potential of this HAM technology for fabricating multifunctional polymer-metal lattice composites.
