…a wide range of mechanical properties with accuracy and precision. The practical applications of this technology are vast. VCJ not only enhances the resolution and functional capabilities of printed components, it also enables fabrication of intricate internal networks of channels and cavities to carry signals, power, or fluids through the structure. With VCJ, it is now possible to directly fabricate sophisticated, multi-functional systems capable of performing complex physical tasks at scale. To demonstrate VCJ’s capabilities, the authors of the Nature article printed a variety of complex systems, including a tendon-driven hand modeled from MRI data, a pneumatically actuated walking manipulator,…
