Additive manufacturing (AM) is a name for techniques applied for constructing three-dimensional (3D) objects in a layer-by-layer process. Such methods can be applied for a variety of materials, like ceramics, polymers, and metals. It results in wide applicability of AM elements in many industrial branches, e.g. energetic, medicine or aerospace. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors due to their small dimensions and high chemical durability can be embedded into different material types. The goal of the paper is to analyze an influence of FBG sensors embedded into an AM polymeric samples on the polymeric structure durability. The samples will be manufactured using multi-jet printing method. The method was chosen due to its high accuracy of printed polymeric elements and the possibility of manufacturing products with complex shapes. The analyzes will be related to tensile strength determination of the samples with embedded FBG sensors. The comparisons will be performed for the samples without sensors and with sensors after manufacturing and after temperature treatment.
