Under control: structural changes
3D-printed bio-inspired structures that mimic bones, tendons and soft tissue. CRAFT enables microscopic control over how plastic molecules arrange themselves as an object is printed. The work opens new possibilities for advanced manufacturing, soft robotics, national defense, energy damping and information storage. Credit: Sandia National Laboratories.
