MIT engineers integrate sensors to devices, rotational parts with 3D printing

AU Manufacturing

By using MechSense, engineers could rapidly prototype devices with rotating parts, like turbines or motors, while incorporating sensing directly into the designs. They also produced a planetary gearbox, like those that are used in robotic arms, and a wheel that measures distance as it rolls across a surface.
