Multi-material direct ink writing of photocurable elastomeric foams
There is an ongoing need to lower the Young’s modulus of polymer components produced by 3D printing. Here, a three-stage printing process creates multi-material components with Young’s moduli of 25 kPa – 90 kPa, enabled by the evaporation of ammonium bicarbonate to create gaseous pores.
