Melt Electrowriting of Nylon‐12 Microfibers with an Open‐Source 3D Printer [PDF]
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2023 Abstract This study demonstrates how either a heated flat or cylindrical collector enables defect‐free melt electrowriting (MEW) of complex geometries from high melting temperature polymers. The open‐source “MEWron” printer uses nylon‐12 filament and combined with a heated flat or cylindrical collector, produces well‐defined fibers ...
