Direct sound printing is a potential game-changer in 3D printing: The new platform technology uses ultrasound waves to create complex and precise objects - Science Daily

Researchers describe a new platform technology called direct sound printing (DSP), which uses soundwaves to produce new objects. The paper explains show how focused ultrasound waves can be used to create sonochemical reactions in minuscule cavitation regions.…

Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers. The development of a new platform technology … [+3725 chars]
