Inks for 3D-printable wearable bioelectronics designed

Control Engineering

Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, which is needed for the ink used in 3D printing, or additive manufacturing. This also allows any researcher to build 3D bioprinters tailored to fit their own research needs.

IMTS: Machine tool hardware, software, efficiency, integration tools

Control Engineering

This helps manufacturers automate programming by applying their own standard CNC programming, inspection path methods, tools and program templates, and ensures that correct revisions of parts are programmed and measured on the shop floor, creating one source of data for the digital manufacturing process.
