Jennifer Lewis Is Using 3D Printing to Engineer Soft Robots and Living Human Tissues

Jennifer Lewis Takes 3D Printing From Soft Robotics to Living Tissues at MIT

Jennifer Lewis is pushing 3D printing far beyond making rigid objects layer by layer. Her Harvard research group is developing printing methods that control the composition and internal architecture of soft materials, allowing researchers to fabricate structures that can bend like artificial muscles, operate as soft robots and, at the biological end of the spectrum, … Read more
