1. A method for integrating a sensor into a metal part, comprising:
a) creating by additive printing a first part of the metal part, including a volume for housing the sensor, the volume having a width greater than that of the sensor;
b) depositing the sensor in said housing volume; and
c) creating by additive printing a second part of the metal part, covering the sensor and forming a molten puddle in the housing volume, on opposing sides of the sensor.
