MorphSensor: A 3D Electronic Design Tool for Reforming Sensor Modules
summary
MorphSensor morphs off-the-shelf 2D sensor modules into free-form 3D component layouts while maintains logical connectivity so circuits remain functional as parts move on a prototype surface. The tool auto-generates enlarged PCB footprints called bigfoot footprints, exports 2D SVGs for silver-ink printing or laser-cut stencils, and supports attaching prefabricated SMD parts. Evaluation uses trace widths 0.1–1.0 mm (chosen 0.5 mm) and functional tests — e.g., digital temperature across 609 samples, 0.06°C avg diff and analog light with 0.6% average error — showing reliable low-power prototypes.
