Surfaces get smooth or bumpy on demand
MIT research produces soft material with controllable surface textures that can be varied by squeezing
15-Jun-2015 -
An MIT team has developed a way of making soft materials, using a 3-D printer, with surface textures that can then be modified at will to be perfectly smooth, or ridged or bumpy, or even to have complex patterns that could be used to guide fluids.The process, developed using detailed computer ...
