Stretchable, flexible and recyclable: 3D printing creates amazing plastics
Unlike similar materials that require complex processing, plastic can be created with a 3D printer. Credit: Sameer A. Khan/Fotobuddy Princeton engineers have developed an easily scalable 3D printing technology to produce soft plastics with programmed stretch and flexibility. The technology is also recyclable and inexpensive, with qualities not typically combined with commercially manufactured materials. In an article in the journal…
