A method of fabricating a multi-axis sensor is provided. The method includes forming patterns of sacrificial material overlaying a substrate and overlaying a flexible material on the sacrificial material and an anchor-surface of the substrate. The flexible material includes sensor-regions, an anchor-region, and at least one hinge-region. The method further includes forming sensor elements from orientable sensor material overlaying respective sensor-regions of the flexible material; forming at least one respective anchor-hinge in the flexible material along the boundary between the anchor-region and an adjacent sensor region; forming the sensor-regions, the anchor-region, and the at least one hinge-region in the flexible material; training the sensor elements to form respective oriented-sensor elements that are oriented in the same direction; etching the sacrificial material; and etching the substrate at an angle from the anchor-surface.
