An innovative rotational 3D printing technique mimics nature to produce high-performance composites.
Developed by a team from Harvard University, the technology allows the properties of chosen areas to be configured individually. This is accomplished by controlling the flow of the printer material so that it is layered in a specific direction, orienting the fibers to strengthen a segment, for example, without needing to add extra ink.
According to study co-author Jordan Raney, "One of the exciting things about this work is that it offers a new avenue to produce complex microstructures, and to controllably vary the microstructure from region to region.”
