According to the most recent edition of the journal "Advanced Materials", a research team hailing from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland has successfully developed a groundbreaking 3D printing technology. This cutting-edge technology harnesses the power of ordinary hydrogels to 'cultivate' metal and ceramic components. These components boast intricate structures, remarkable strength, and high density, effectively shattering the long-standing limitation that traditional stereolithography printing could only operate with photosensitive polymers. In the meantime, the research introduces a novel concept in additive manufacturing: the practice of selecting materials after the 3D printing process, rather than before it.
