FluxLab: Designing 3D-Printable Shape-Changing Devices with Embedded Sensing
Additive manufacturing is moving beyond static parts toward systems that can sense, adapt, and reconfigure. FluxLab, a new research toolset published on December 2, 2025, illustrates that transition by combining multi-material 3D printing, embedded actuation, and built-in deformation sensing to produce shape-changing devices ready for practical demonstrations. The work focuses on printable silicone devices that…
