New hybrid 3D printing technique will add a fourth dimension to additive manufacturing

Oct 08, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Loughborough University have developed a hybrid method called Material Treatment Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MaTrEx-AM), which uses acetone to toughen targeted layers of 3D printed parts and structures (Additive Manufacturing, "MaTrEx-AM: a new hybrid additive manufacturing process to selectively control mechanical properties"). Varying how...
