Abstract
A housing of an ultrasonic sensor includes a plurality of layers of a housing material integrally connected together to form the housing. A first section of the housing has a first plurality of layers of the housing material each with a first thickness. A second section of the housing has a second plurality of layers of the housing material each with a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness and an ultrasonic wave transmitted through the housing has a greater transmission efficiency in the first section than in the second section.

A housing of an ultrasonic sensor, comprising:
- a plurality of layers of a housing material integrally connected together to form the housing, a first section of the housing has a first plurality of layers of the housing material each with a first thickness, a second section of the housing has a second plurality of layers of the housing material each with a second thickness, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness and an ultrasonic wave transmitted through the housing has a greater transmission efficiency in the first section than in the second section.
An ultrasonic sensor, comprising:
- a housing including a plurality of layers of a housing material integrally connected together, a first section of the housing has a first plurality of layers of the housing material each with a first thickness, a second section of the housing has a second plurality of layers of the housing material each with a second thickness, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness and an ultrasonic wave transmitted through the housing has a greater transmission efficiency in the first section than in the second section.
A process for manufacturing a housing of an ultrasonic sensor, comprising:
- printing the housing with a printer as a plurality of layers of a housing material integrally connected together, the printer prints a first section of the housing with a first plurality of layers of the housing material each having a first thickness, and prints a second section of the housing with a second plurality of layers of the housing material each having a second thickness, the second thickness is greater than the first thickness, the first thickness is selected to have a greater transmission efficiency than the second thickness for transmitting an ultrasonic wave through the housing.
