MIT’s New Resin Switches Durability with UV and Visible Light, Simplifying Post-Processing 

3 semanas 1 dia ago
MIT researchers have developed a 3D printing method that uses a light-sensitive resin capable of forming both durable structures and dissolvable supports—depending on the type of light it’s exposed to. Ultraviolet (UV) light hardens the resin into strong, permanent shapes, while visible light produces weaker supports that can be dissolved in specific solvents. The new […]
