Novel 3D printer uses ultrasound vibration to produce parts from recycled ABS with improved properties

Researchers at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) have developed a 3D printer that’s capable of producing more resilient parts from recycled ABS.  By mounting two piezoelectric transducers to an ordinary gantry Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printer, the engineers have managed to develop a means of reversing some of the reduction in strength often exhibited […]
