Abstract: In present days the most commonly used methodology for making structures in three dimensional views is 3D printing technology. This technology is also referred as an additive manufacturing technology. This technology is being broadly used to improve functionality. Advances in utilization of this technology lead to sensing applications in monitoring health parameters. But, in general this type of multifunctional sensor involves with developments in better sensitivity and specificity. This paper mainly focusses a review about the work done on development of 3D printed sensors. Utilization of these techniques has increased in the domain of applications related to sensors as per the advances of being quickly fabricated and the high probability of processing different conductive materials. Representing the need and importance of 3D printing methodology in fabricating sensors, this article summarizes different 3D printing technologies and explains the utilization of fused deposition modelling method to fabricate sensing prototype. Advantages, disadvantages, materials that are being currently processed and case studies has been summarized in this paper. Chosen case studies review the importance of developing sensors with advanced performance.
