The sensor is composed of two flexible thermoplastic polyurethane materials; a non-conductive TPU filament (1) is used to print the substrate and encapsulant, and a conductive TPU filament (2) is used to print the capacitive plates. The sensor is assembled, shielded (3), and encapsulated in a stretchable fabric (5) to be implemented in a physical interface. A microcontroller unit (4) is integrated to measure capacitance.
