Can VCJ 3D printing create assembled products that function like natural organisms? 

 

In a new Nature journal article, researchers sought to answer this question.

 

3D Printed Robot Hands

In one experiment, using the Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) multi-material technology from Inkbit, the authors produced a tendon-driven robotic hand with embedded sensors and varying degrees of rigid and soft properties in a single print.

 

The robotic hand's components mimicked the intricacy of human anatomy using bespoke metamaterials with programmable properties that could autonomously grasp objects.

 

We invite you to explore the results and learn about other experiments, including a walking robot demonstrating stable locomotion and object manipulation, plus a heart pump that effectively mimicked cardiac functions.

 

 

 

Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ)

 

It is worth noting that the applications presented in the Nature article were made possible only through Inkbit's VCJ technology. The VCJ technology includes a high-speed 3D vision system that enables the creation of new novel chemistries in 3D printing.

This technology also provides exceptional precision, producing durable and functional multi-material products without contact. VCJ technology is not limited to organic robotic components but has exciting use cases in the automotive, medical, and consumer products industries.
