3D-printed nozzles could revolutionize drug and self-healing material manufacturing — MIT-developed triaxial electrospray design makes cleanroom fabrication optional
Researchers at MIT have developed a novel 3D-printed triaxial electrospray nozzle array capable of simultaneously dispensing multiple liquids into three-layered droplets. This innovation significantly reduces manufacturing costs and complexity, eliminating the need for cleanroom facilities typically required for such intricate devices. The new design promises to revolutionize the production of layered drugs, self-healing materials, and other advanced applications by enabling more efficient, consistent, and customizable droplet fabrication.
