    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Electromyography (EMG) systems require effective electrode interfaces for accurate muscle signal detection.
    • Existing EMG electrodes can be costly and lack customization for diverse anatomical applications.
    • 3D printing offers potential for creating customized, low-cost, and complex electrode geometries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, fabricate, and evaluate a novel 12-channel 3D-printed electrode array for EMG.
    • To assess the array's performance in recognizing hand gestures using wearable myoelectric technology.
    • To demonstrate a cost-effective and customizable solution for EMG applications.

    Main Methods:

    • A dual-material 3D printing approach was used, combining flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with conductive Protopasta® Composite PLA.
    • A 12-channel electrode array was fabricated with a design optimized for conformal contact on the forearm.
    • Electromyography signals were recorded from 10 participants performing six hand gestures, and data was classified using linear discriminant analysis with wavelet energy.

    Main Results:

    • The 3D-printed electrode array successfully recorded EMG signals during hand gesture tasks.
    • Average hand gesture classification accuracy of (91.32 ± 7.23)% was achieved.
    • The fabricated array demonstrated reliable motion recognition capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The 12-channel 3D-printed electrode array is a viable and effective tool for EMG-based hand gesture recognition.
    • This technology presents a cost-effective, customizable, and high-performance alternative for wearable myoelectric systems.
    • The study validates the potential of 3D printing in advancing EMG electrode design and functionality.
