Researchers at MIT have developedand publisheda new technique called liquid metal printing “LMP” that, while limited in terms of resolution, is both fast and is said to avoid the warping and cracking seen in more traditional metal printing methods. A demonstration of this application was presented by making frames for chairs and tables in a few minutes. The researchers used the LMP method to ensure it can print a reliable enough structure needed for different applications....
