MIT researchers have achieved a breakthrough by 3D printing a functional linear motor in 3 hours for just 50 cents. 🏗️ Using 4 extruders and 5 materials, the system enables monolithic fabrication of electromechanical devices in one build. This shifts industry standards from weeks of tooling to on-demand production. 🚀 Integrating electronics and mechanics in a single process marks a leap toward localized, supply-chain-independent manufacturing. #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Innovation #MIT #Mechatronics
