Abstract
Integrating sensors and other functional parts in one device can enable a new generation of integrated intelligent devices that can perform self‐sensing and monitoring autonomously. Applications include buildings that detect and repair damage, robots that monitor conditions and perform real‐time correction and reconstruction, aircraft capable of real‐time perception of the internal and external environment, and medical devices and prosthetics with a realistic sense of touch. Although integrating sensors and other functional parts into self‐sensing intelligent devices has become increasingly common, additive manufacturing has only been marginally explored. This review focuses on additive manufacturing integrated design, printing equipment, and printable materials and stuctures. The importance of the material, structure, and function of integrated manufacturing are highlighted. The study summarizes current challenges to be addressed and provides suggestions for future development directions.
