‘Next-gen 3D printing’ enables printing with two different materials at once — faster, lighter, and more precise multiplexing nozzle tech demoed by U.S. gov’t scientists

Scientists from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated what they describe as a “next-generation 3D printing system.” The key innovation here is a multiplexed nozzle, which can deliver scalable 3D printing to industry while minimizing the typical tradeoffs in output size, weight, and complexity. Crucially, the tech also enables printing with different materials at the same time.
