Imagine a future in which you could 3D-print an entire robot or stretchy, electronic medical device with the press of a button – no tedious hours spent assembling parts by hand.
That possibility may be closer than ever thanks to a recent advancement in 3D-printing technology led by engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder. In a new study, the team lays out a strategy for using currently-available printers to create materials that meld solid and liquid components – a tricky feat if you don’t want your robot to collapse.
“I think...
