To 3D print with fiber-infused liquids, we need to understand how these drops form, break-up, and splash. That’s the subject of this research poster, which shows drops of a fiber suspension forming and pinching off along the top of the image. In the lower half of the image, drops of the suspension hit a hydrophilic surface and spread. How the drop and its fibers spread will affect the final properties of the printed material.
