Thick resin 3D printing for tough end products

Barcelona-based 3D printer maker BCN3D has developed a process to build objects from highly viscous resins: “50x more viscous than the industry standard”, it claims, allowing chemists to formulate materials that print into tougher end-products – for example incorporating long chain oligomers or fillers such as fibres (even abrasive fibres) or elastomer particles. “Without a ...
