New 3D printing technique makes wood, bone-like materials
A US-based team has developed a 3D printing method that creates materials with wood and bone-like architecture. The team used fog-like microdroplets containing silver nanoparticles, which on evaporation created delicate structures. The method could be expanded to any material crushable into nanoparticles to make batteries and lightweight strong materials, said the research lead Rahul Panat.
