3D-Printed Cillia Fur

May-29-16 The 3D-printed Cillia fur could have applications ranging from touch sensors to real fur alternatives.

Created by MIT’s Tangible Media Group, the hairs making up the Cillia fur are as small as 50 microns in diameter, and can be packed together in varying densities. The team believes the printed fur could be used to create specialized paintbrushes, low-friction surfaces, and even an actuator able to move objects by vibrating the hairs.
