An experiment led by Prof. Hod Lipson, a roboticist at New York’s Columbia University, and his PhD student John Whitehead, has resulted in the development of a new approach to overcome limitations of selective laser sintering (SLS) technology. The new approach, termed as Inverted multi-material laser sintering, also enables multi-material 3D printing.
An interdisciplinary group of chemistry and mechanical engineering researchers from Virginia Tech have developed a novel process to 3D Print Latex Rubber, thereby unlocking the ability to print a variety of elastic materials with complex geometric shapes.
Chemical engineering assistant professor Jiandi Wan from the University of California, Davis pioneered a new droplet-based 3D printing technology using microfluidics. The microfluidic approach enabled the research team to efficiently print finely-tuned flexible materials with potential applications in soft robotics, tissue engineering, and wearable technology.
A new collaboration between researchers from Terasaki Institute, Ohio State University Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and those from the Pennsylvania State University Department of Chemical Engineering, has led to the development of a new type of 3D printing approach that involves the use of a specially-formulated bio-ink designed for printing directly in the body.
Researchers from the Saarland University have developed a novel non-contact method of transforming 3D printed metal parts into high-precision technical components for specialist applications. The research team consisting of manufacturing technologists combine metal 3D Printing and Electrochemical Machining (ECM).
Texas A&M University Researchers Invent Technology to overcome 3D Printing’s ‘Weak Spot’
