Researchers from Swiss institute of technology ETH Zurich have succeeded in 3D-printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers, using a new printing technology developed by Inkbit, an MIT spin- off. Key to the advancement is the capability to 3D-print both fast- curing and slow- curing plastics, paving the way to combining soft, elastic, and rigid materials in one go. To accommodate the use of slow- curing polymers, the new printer is equipped with a 3D laser scanner that checks each printed layer, allowing to compensate surface irregularities instead of scraping them off. Inkbit is planning to use the new technology to offer a 3D printing service to its customers and to sell the new printers. The research paper is available here.EDACafe Editorial, 14d ago
This brings us to another related topic, which is the use of polymer 3D printing to produce sacrificial cores. Printing sacrificial cores for metal casting is possible via stereolithographic 3D printers (in fact this is a major application area for large SLA systems or voxeljet’s unique PMMA binder jetting systems), however, in our analysis, we tend to consider these as polymer 3D printing processes and we will address them only marginally in this article. This remains a relevant topic and a valuable application of 3D printing across multiple industries (automotive, energy, aerospace, maritime), especially considering that it is a process capable of large-batch and serial manufacturing.Fabbaloo, 14d ago
