Laser Inversion enables Multi-Materials 3D Printing

July 27, 2020 sarah Jonas 3d printing, additive manufacturing, Robotics

Selective laser sintering is one of the most widely used processes in additive manufacturing, but it is limited to printing with a single material at a time. Columbia engineers have used their expertise in robotics to develop a new approach to overcome this limitation: By inverting the laser so that it points upwards, they’ve invented a way to enable SLS to use—at the same time—multiple materials.
