With recent developments in additive manufacturing (AM), new possibilities for fabricating smart structures have emerged. Recently, single-process fused-filament fabrication (FFF) sensors for dynamic mechanical quantities have been presented. Sensors measuring dynamic mechanical quantities, like strain, force, and acceleration, typically require conductive filaments with a relatively high electrical resistivity.

Article Synopsis
  • 3D-printing technology is advancing co-printing of sensory elements, with a focus on smart 3D structures containing embedded strain sensors made of conductive PLA.
  • Research highlights have shown that temperature effects are minimal and the sensory elements demonstrate a linear response under specified conditions.
  • The findings suggest potential for future use of these smart 3D-printed systems in dynamic measurement applications, potentially replacing traditional piezo-crystal sensors.

Purpose: Speech of deaf persons differs considerably from that of speakers with normal hearing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic changes in articulation of corner vowels in deaf children and adults after cochlear implantation.

Methods: Thirteen prelingually deaf children and 12 postlingually deaf adults were included in the study.
