MIT researchers have developed a clever 3D printing trick that could save materials and simplify cleanup. What sets it apart is the supports used during printing dissolve easily and can even be reused, meaning less work for you and less waste for the planet. Right now, resin 3D printing relies on scaffolding to hold detailed pieces in place. Not only is peeling off supports tedious, but they often go straight into the bin, to. The MIT method fixes that by using a special resin that reacts differently to two types of light. UV light hardens the printed part; visible light hardens the supports, which dissolve later in a safe solvent such as baby oil. Bonus: that solution can be filtered and turned into fresh resin again. MIT engineers thrilled after developing game-changing 3D printing technique: 'This is an exciting path'
