3D printing with functional gels.

A study from Dartmouth College describes a process using heat to change the arrangement of molecular rings on a chemical chain creates 3D-printable gels with a variety of functional properties. Printing objects with different mechanical strengths using a single ink could replace the costly and time-consuming use of multiple inks for printing.

The results are published in the journal Chem: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2021.06.004

AI in 3D printing.

Additive manufacturing allows on-demand production. However, the performance of the final object is hard to predict. A team at the University of Texas has shown that neural networks can be used to better understand the processes.
