Abstract
Fiber encapsulation additive manufacturing (FEAM) and thermoplastic elastomer additive manufacturing (TEAM) are combined to create a composite capacitive force sensor. This work presents analysis on a capacitive force sensor developed by combining the advantages of FEAM and TEAM. The capacitive sensor consists of a 3D printed rigid frame with embedded wires in a tight spiral pattern that emulates a flat plate capacitor and a thermoplastic elastomer dielectric spacer that compresses under applied force. An approximately linear response for the corresponding capacitance change versus applied load is obtained to evaluate the printed capacitor effectiveness as a force sensor.
