3D-printed active fabric for medical devices and soft robotics
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a wearable fabric that is flexible but can stiffen on demand.
Developed through a combination of geometric design, three-dimensional printing and robotic control, the new technology, called RoboFabric, can quickly be made into medical devices or soft robotics, such as limbs for drones.
