What is it about?
3D printed variations of normally 2D sensor devices and materials are a field of increasing interest. This paper investigates the effect of moving from the 2D to 3D realm on the reliability of measured data from strain sensors.

Why is it important?
It is important to be aware of the reliability of sensors and how this reliability can affect the data which has been collected. This research gives engineers and 3D printing hobbyists a guide on how their data can be affected by the 3D design of the sensor. When people print their own sensors, they can use this work as a guide.
Perspectives
When moving from 2D electronics to 3D electronics, strange phenomena start occurring and untangling any one of these would probably spawn PhD projects for many students. With the advent of more exotic materials being printed, it is interesting to see which properties can be developed using this technology.
