New 3D printing technology uses soundwaves

inhabitat inhabitat | 1 year ago

In the mind-blowing science department, a new 3D printing technology will use soundwaves to produce new objects. Scientists at Concordia University in Montreal describe what they’re calling direct sound printing (DSP) in a paper published in April in Nature Communications. The usual 3D printing techniques rely on light or heat to precisely manipulate polymers. DSP focuses ultrasound waves to create reactions in tiny bubbles in a liquid polymer solution. These soundwaves produce extreme pressur...
