About

Remco Sanders is a researcher specializing in additive manufacturing, embedded sensing, and flexible electronics, with a particular focus on integrating functional sensors directly into 3D-printed structures. His work sits at the intersection of materials science, electrical engineering, and manufacturing innovation, exploring how modern fabrication techniques can yield smart, responsive physical objects. Sanders's most influential contribution, "Embedded Sensing: Integrating Sensors in 3-D Printed Structures" (2018), has garnered 89 citations and serves as a comprehensive review of electrically interrogated sensors achievable through additive manufacturing — establishing him as a key synthesizer of knowledge in this emerging field. Complementing this, his 2017 paper on a 3D-printed flexible capacitive force sensor demonstrated a practical proof-of-concept using conductive thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), earning 32 citations for its accessible microcontroller-based readout approach. His 2018 study on anisotropic capacitive effects in FDM-printed structures (26 citations) further revealed how structural printing artifacts could be cleverly exploited for sensing functionality. Collectively, Sanders's research advances the vision of manufacturing objects that are inherently sensing-capable, contributing meaningful tools and insights to the growing field of smart manufacturing and wearable technology development.
