About
Patrick Neuvel is a researcher advancing the frontier of functional 3D printing, with a focus on integrating electrical conductivity into flexible, additively manufactured structures. His key research areas include embedded electronics, mechanical interlocking for electrical contacts, and the mechanical-electrical characterization of 3D-printed conductors. Neuvel’s most notable contribution is the introduction of a mechanical interlocking technique for connecting electrical wires to flexible, FDM-printed conductors, as detailed in his 2022 paper. By embedding perforated copper tape during the printing process, he demonstrated a method to fabricate robust electrical contacts without relying on adhesives or soldering. His work includes tensile testing that reveals the electrical and mechanical resilience of these contacts, though contact resistance varies under load. With 6 citations, this paper has already sparked interest in the emerging field of embedded electronics in 3D printing. Neuvel’s approach offers a practical, scalable solution for integrating wiring into soft robotics, wearable devices, and custom sensors, making him a promising voice in the intersection of materials science and digital fabrication.
