Researchers from the University of Seville, Spain have developed a new method of producing highly-customizable composite filaments for the FFF 3D printing process. The method uses pellet-like polymer capsules filled with magnetic additives. Using a single screw desktop extruder, the team was able to prepare a custom composite filament from the capsules, one with a […]
Researchers use injket 3D printing to create gold 3D images
In an effort to advance biomedical sensors, material scientists from the University of Seville, Spain, and the University of Nottingham have created a 3D printed image using nanoparticles of stabilized gold. As stated by the research published in Nature, gold nanoparticles themselves are not printable but provide biocompatible properties in fields such as diagnostics. For example, electrochemical […]
