Harvard researchers 4D print the face of a new class of shape-shifting materials

4D printed, shape-shifting structures hold significant potential for the future of engineering. Be it self-assembling trusses, or medical devices that help inform cell regeneration, the field still has many challenges to overcome before its possibilities become practical. Up to now, one of the greatest challenges to 4D printing has been the ability to create complex, smoothly-curved shapes. […]

Harvard researchers develop method for 3D printing with soundwaves

Researchers from Harvard University’s John A Paulsen School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) in Massachusetts, have created an acoustophoretic 3D printing technique which uses sound waves to form drops of a wide range of viscous fluids into additively manufactured structures. According to the study published in the latest edition of Science Advances, this new […]
