Harvard SEAS developed a rotational multi-material 3D printing technique that embeds motion logic directly into soft robotic matter.

Originally reported by 3DNatives

Harvard SEAS developed a rotational multi-material 3D printing technique that embeds motion logic directly into soft robotic matter. By using a single rotating nozzle to extrude two materials, the system creates programmable pneumatic channels and eliminates traditional multi-step molding. This method enables precise twisting and bending behaviors via controlled nozzle rotation and flow rates. It represents a systemic shift toward one-step fabrication of bio-inspired robots with embedded physical intelligence. 🤖🦾 #3DPrinting #SoftRobotics #AdditiveManufacturing #Innovation
