A team of researchers from the University of Tokyo has developed a highly metallic gel that can be 3D printed into complex shapes. This breakthrough could bring about a new era of 3D printing, allowing users to print metallic structures with unprecedented levels of detail and complexity. The gel is composed of metal nanoparticles suspended in a polymer matrix, and is capable of being formed into complex geometries. The gel can be 3D printed using a standard desktop 3D printer, and the resulting metallic structures have a high degree of detail and strength. This technology could lead to a new generation of 3D printed metallic objects, with applications in aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics.
