First results of a Soft, 3D-Printed, Resistive Cantilever Flow Sensor

This paper introduces the fabrication and characterization of a soft, 3D-printed, resistive cantilever flow sensor, inspired by nature. The sensor has a wider end, to increase drag, and a thin bending section with differential resistive strain gauges. Wind tunnel tests show the operation of the sensor. The relation between tip displacement and resistance change is experimentally determined, as wel...
