Accelerating the discovery of new materials for 3D printing #3DPrinting

Printing with different materials broadens the functionality of 3D printing. Now machines are taking over the search for new materials.

Via MIT:

To cut down on the time it takes to discover these new materials, researchers at MIT have developed a data-driven process that uses machine learning to optimize new 3D printing materials with multiple characteristics, like toughness and compression strength.

By streamlining materials development, the system lowers costs and lessens the environmental impact by reducing the amount of chemical waste. The machine learning algorithm could also spur innovation by suggesting unique chemical formulations that human intuition might miss.
