3D Printing of Highly Viscous Materials

The team at Next Offset Solutions is proud to announce advancements in the area of viscous printing. Learn more here. This video is the product of Purdue University.

Can you send materials like clay through a 3D printer? Purdue University researchers have discovered a way to vibrate the print nozzle using ultrasonic waves, reducing the friction enough to allow extremely viscous materials to be printed with 100 micron precision. This allows the creation of customized solid rocket propellants, pharmaceuticals, biomedical implants, foodstuffs, and more.
