On February 27, 2026, a team of engineers from Harvard University in the United States unveiled a groundbreaking rotating multi-material 3D printing technology. This innovative approach allows for the seamless integration of multiple flexible materials within a single print job, enabling the precise fabrication of micron-scale flexible helical structures. When inflated, these structures exhibit the remarkable ability to bend and deform along predetermined paths, rendering them ideal candidates for use as artificial muscles in soft robots. Moreover, this technology opens up new avenues for the manufacturing of intricate robotic components.
