3D Printing Takes a Shine to Liquid Metal

2013-07-12 19:44:07| TechNewsWorld

Researchers at NCSU have developed techniques to create freestanding structures from liquid metal using 3D printers. One technique involves stacking droplets. The droplets adhere to each other because of surface tension, but that same surface tension prevents them from merging into one larger drop. The team created a working proof-of-concept flexible circuit using liquid metal wire bonds.
