Manufacturing process of a positioning control tool via 3d-printing technology

A method to make an instrument with a gyroscope, wherein the method includes:

• printing, by a three-dimensional (3D) printer, an insulating polymer material to form a first part of a frame;
• printing, by the 3D printer, a polymer material mixed with powdered graphene on a surface of the first part of the frame to form a piezoelectric substrate;
• printing, by the 3D-printer, an insulating layer on the piezoelectric substrate wherein the insulating layer is printed in a pattern which has apertures in the insulating layer;
• printing, by the 3D-printer, a polymer material mixed with powdered graphene to the gyroscope wherein the printed components of the gyroscope include:
• a resonator transducer configured to create a first surface acoustic wave on the piezoelectric substrate;
• a pair of reflectors configured to reflect the first surface acoustic wave to form a standing wave within a first region on the piezoelectric substrate and between the pair of reflectors;
• a structure within the first region wherein the structure vibrates in response to a Coriolis force to create a second surface acoustic wave on the piezoelectric substrate;
• a first sensor transducer disposed on the piezoelectric substrate and configured to sense the second surface acoustic wave;
• and
• a second sensor transducer disposed on the piezoelectric substrate and configure to sense a residual surface acoustic wave from a second region of the piezoelectric substrate, wherein the second region is separated from the first region, and the second sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of the residual surface acoustic wave;
• wherein at least one of the components is at least partially printed into one of the apertures of the pattern of the insulating layer, and
• printing, by the 3D printer, and the insulating polymer material a second part of the frame, wherein the second part and first part are assembled together to form the frame which supports the piezoelectric printed components and the piezoelectric substrate.
