Researchers develop ultrasound system for real-time monitoring of soft hydrogel 3D printing

Researchers at the University of North Texas have developed a real-time in-situ ultrasound monitoring system capable of tracking soft hydrogel 3D printing processes with subwavelength resolution. The work, published in Communications Engineering, provides new methods for observing critical transient phenomena during the additive manufacturing of gelatin-alginate hydrogels, including layer bonding, surface deformation, and gravitational spreading.
