Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have developed a shape-changing 3D printer nozzle meant to tackle a particular method for 3D printing fiber composites. The nozzle is able to morph in such a way that it can change the orientation of short fibers in such materials as carbon fiber in order to improve such characteristics as strength or electrical conductivity.
In a paper published in Advanced Materials Technologies, the team discusses how actuators change the shape of the nozzle. Ryan…
