Traditional fabrication methods for creating flexible magnetoelectric sensors are often laborious and challenging when it comes to personalization. This article employs fused deposition modeling 3D printing technology to produce flexible multifunctional sensors. (0-3) type composite filaments were prepared using polyvinylidene fluoride and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4, abbreviated as CFO). These filaments can be printed into various shapes, exhibiting good mechanical and electrical properties. Crucial parameters, such as different component ratios and CFO particle sizes, were analyzed. This study can serve as a valuable reference for the future development of personalized wearable sensors.
