Abstract

Based on a review of scientific and technical literature, the main directions of using functional materials obtained by the FDM printing method in the development of sensors for various purposes and polymer actuators are identified. It is shown that to date, significant progress has been achieved in the field of printing sensors for various purposes: materials have been selected, a conceptual appearance of products has been developed, their characteristics have been investigated. The possibilities of using polymeric materials with shape memory for the manufacture of actuators obtained by the 3D printing method are demonstrated. It is noted that the uniqueness of this method of manufacturing actuators is associated with the ability to lay the stress diagram necessary for the operation of the device during the printing process.
