Researchers Use Shape Memory Polymers to Increase Stiffness of 3D Printed Soft Actuators
While soft robots are very flexible, and adaptive to more complex environments, they aren’t great at completing tasks with a high load capacity due to the low stiffness of constituent…
Researchers Use 3D Printing-Guided Method to Create Thermoresponsive Nanohybrid Scaffolds
3D printed medical implants are typically stiffer and stronger than the surrounding tissue, and while they don’t always adapt well to biological and physical stimuli, that stiffness is important. The biological…
Virginia Tech Researchers Develop New Microscale, Multimaterial 3D Printing Method
A team of researchers from Virginia Tech University have developed a new method of microscale 3D printing, which uses in-situ resin mixing and robotics to 3D print multimaterial with programmed…
