Researchers Develop 3D Printed Self-Healing Material to Cut Back on Waste

3DPrint.com has published an article detailing Dr. Davami’s development of 3D printed self-healing structures. “​A team of researchers … led by assistant professor Dr. Keivan Davami, recently developed a self-healing material using advanced SLA 3D printing technology, which has all kinds of applications, from fixing shoe soles and cell phone screens to cartilage. By exposing the material to UV light, it is capable of “autonomic self-repair,” and the researchers believe that it could help reduce how much waste is generated when a material is damaged – if it can heal itself, the damage can be repaired without any waste.” – Sarah Saunders, 3DPrint.com
