VirtuFiber’s solution is a cutting-edge 3D/4D printing system that directly integrates sensors and actuators into the product during manufacturing.
By using advanced materials like shape memory alloys and piezoelectric polymers, our printers enable the seamless fusion of geometric design with sensor and actuator functionality, providing designers with the flexibility to create more innovative and efficient products.
Industrial and consumer product designers face a significant challenge in incorporating functional materials (such as sensors or actuators) into their designs. Traditionally, these components are added as separate modules after the primary design phase, which imposes strict limitations on the overall product geometry and often results in suboptimal performance.
