They 3D print the traces with conductive PLA filament directly onto a base plastic sheet, and then vacuum form the whole thing. The filament is happy to deform when heated – it’s printer filament.

However this technique lets fully 3D objects to spring forth from a piece of plastic. This means you can make something like a wild 3D dress out of metal or a car piece out of plastic with a few ...

With detailed 3D models, patients can get a preview of cosmetic procedures before going through with the surgery. "If I didn't have this 3D print, I would not have underwent surgery," patient ...
