Novel system optimizes the electrical, thermal and mechanical behavior of 3D printed materials
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with the University of Oxford, Imperial College London and the BC Materials research center in the Basque Country, has developed an innovative computational model that makes it possible to predict and improve the behavior of multifunctional structures manufactured using 3D printers. This breakthrough, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, opens the door to new applications in sectors such as biomedicine, soft robotics and other branches of engineering.
