What is 3D printing, and what are safety precautions for manufacturing?
4D printed materials that transform underwater
As said by Tibbits,” Possibilities from 4D printed materials that transform underwater, or fibers that snap into a particular shape. We want to think about what’s coming next and see if we can really lead that worked with Steelcase to develop a process for 3D printing plastic into the liquid for furniture parts, called rapid liquid printing. This process prints within a gel bath to provide support for the printed parts and minimize the effect of gravity. With this printing technique, they can print centimeter- to meter-scale parts in minutes to hours with a range of high-quality industrial materials like silicone rubber, polyurethane, and acrylics.”
