Thin flexible bio-sensors are 3d-printed

Georgia Tech has developed a way to 3d print highly flexible bio-compatible battery-free wireless stretch sensors. A potential application is pressure sensing inside brain blood vessels damaged by aneurysms – floppy side bulges that can burst. ‘Aerosol jet’ 3D printing is the chose fabrication technique – in which a fine mist of droplets are blown ...
