Industry 4.0 is a revolution that has greater potential to connect machines to monitor and control them through data acquisition and analysis. It helps the industries in getting quality products at economic cost with flexibility and processability incorporated in it. 3D printing is a subset of Industry 4.0, which can support the digital manufacturing and sensors are devices, which can measure the physical parameters from the environment and play key role in implementing Industry 4.0. Thus, this paper aims to review the recent works carried out in 3D printed sensors. Here an overview of sensors and their fabrication methods practiced using 3D printing technology for various applications are discussed. From the review, it is found that there is major scope for fabricating the complete sensor with 3D printing.
