About

Bram Eijking is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing and functional materials, whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of embedded sensing. His primary research areas include 3D-printed sensor integration, structural health monitoring, and smart manufacturing processes. Eijking’s most significant contribution is his seminal 2018 paper “Embedded sensing: integrating sensors in 3-D printed structures,” which has garnered 89 citations and established the foundational framework for embedding electrically interrogated sensors directly into additively manufactured components. This work systematically reviewed various sensing technologies and principles, demonstrating how sensors can be seamlessly incorporated during the printing process to create intelligent structures capable of real-time monitoring. His research has opened new possibilities for creating smart prosthetics, aerospace components, and biomedical devices with integrated sensing capabilities. Eijking’s achievements include developing novel methods for embedding strain gauges, temperature sensors, and pressure sensors within complex geometries, effectively merging structural and functional design. His work continues to influence the growing field of 4D printing and adaptive materials, making him a key figure in the evolution of intelligent manufacturing systems.
