Turning 3D printing’s biggest flaw into its smartest feature

Civil and systems engineers at Johns Hopkins University have turned a longstanding problem with 3D printers into a multifunctional feature: The team developed a new printing technique that solves the fundamental weakness between the layers created during 3D printing. This work, which appears in Advanced Materials, has the potential to customize the behavior of 3D-printed objects.
