Micromachined liquid dispenser array for 3D printer

In rapid prototyping, one of the feasible methods of achieving fast and low cost forming of 3D physical objects is by 3D printer. The main issues of the present 3D printer are the high cost and poor resolution of the printer head due to its complex fabrication and assembly processes. MicroElectroMec...
