Fabricating composite parts with high fiber loading and design flexibility has always been a challenge. In the recent issue of Matter, Shi and co-workers showed that high fiber loading can be achieved using localized in-plane thermal assisted (LITA) 3D printing. Coupled with robotic arm, it provides...
