Researchers at MIT have developed a new 3D printing platform that can “produce a fully functioning linear motor in about three hours,” reports Justin Caffier for Gizmodo. The research team “explained how by retrofitting a printer with enough extruders to handle the various materials needed to make a working motor, they decimated the usual production time for such a device and brought the material costs down to around $0.50,” writes Caffier.
