MIT researchers develop new multi-material 3D printing filament

摘要

MIT researchers have developed a new 3D printing method containing multi-material fiber to produce functioning devices with embedded circuitry for biomedical and robotic devices.The system uses conventional 3D printers outfitted with special nozzle and new filament to replace the usual single-material polymer filament.The new filament has complex internal structure made up of different materials arranged in a precise configuration and is surrounded by polymer cladding on the outside.
