Dynamic 3D Printing Platform Concept Dramatically Reduces Supports in FFF

by Environment

With a story published on April 1st (but we performed all the necessary anti-April Fools checks and can now confirm it), researchers in USC Viterbi’s Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering have revealed a low-cost reusable support method based on a dynamic 3D printing platform which reduces the need for wasteful supports in material extrusion/deposition, vastly improving cost-effectiveness and sustainability for 3D printing.
