Abstract

This paper explores the integration of conductivity, electricity, controllers, and 3D printing technologies to develop an active physicalization model. The model is interactive and utilizes conductive 3D filaments as sensors to trigger a feedback system when activated. The resulting interactive model can be applied to various physicalized models where the internal structure is crucial. As a case study, we have 3D printed a temporal bone model with its inner organs, using conductive material to sense the proximity of a drill around the inner organs. When a surgical drill comes into contact with these conductive-material-printed inner organs, it triggers the feedback system, producing feedback in the form of a buzzer or blinking LED. Our adaptable feedback system extends beyond surgery rehearsal, with the case study serving as a representative example.
