Credit: MIT NewsEngineers can create complex structures using 3D inkjet printing, crafting robotic grippers that blend softness and strength for safe human interaction. Traditionally, these printers use UV-cured resin, but slower-curing materials could get squished during the smoothing process.MIT, Inkbit, and ETH Zurich researchers devised an innovative 3D inkjet system. It employs computer vision...
