Structural electronics has garnered significant attention in the past decade. However, there remains a lack of a systematic approach in designing and manufacturing sensors that leverage both mechanical and electronic properties of materials for different applications. In this paper, we introduce a method for designing piezoresistive force sensors utilizing structural electronics and 3D printing techniques. Based on the principles of piezoresistive force sensing, we defined the geometric profile of the sensor by simultaneously maximizing strain and ensuring as uniform as possible stress distribution across the geometry. CAD models of the sensors were then formulated based on the optimized profile and fabricated using conductive filaments and the material extrusion 3D printing technique. Subsequently, we evaluated the accuracy, the sensitivity, and part-to-part variations of the sensors during loading and unloading. The influence of environmental temperature and humidity on the sensor's response were also investigated and compensated. Experiment results demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed method and revealed potential application domains, as well as limitations of the sensors.
