Researchers have developed a 3D printing process that allows for a combination of both liquid and solid material in the finished process. Pictured shows the inside of the 3D-printed material (right), with a lattice structure (left) containing the added liquids.
However, for 3D printing to evolve, it must integrate more complex methods that combine several production steps. That is why we were looking for a way to integrate liquids directly into the material during the printing process,” Binder said in a press statement.
To achieve this goal, Binder, working with colleague Professor Harald Rupp married common 3D printing processes with traditional printing methods, such as those used in inkjet or laser printers. The new method adds liquids drop by drop in a specified location during the extrusion of the basic material, which allows them to be “printed” directly into the product as it’s forming, they said.
