MetaSense: Integrating Sensing Capabilities into Mechanical Metamaterial
summary
Method converts opposing metamaterial cell walls into capacitive electrodes and uses a multi‑material 3D printer plus a dual‑head workflow to export two STL files (conductive and non‑conductive) and wire outputs to an FDC2214 resonance sensor for high‑sensitivity readout. An editor (Grasshopper/Karamba) automatically places conductive cells by simulated deformation, designers print cells from 25 mm down to a 5 mm minimum (1 pF sensing limit), and prototypes include a joystick, musical controller, accelerometer and bistable switch that all produce measurable continuous signals.
