3D printer fuses two materials

Scientists from Skoltech of  Moscow have used a 3D printer to fuse two materials in an alloy whose composition continuously changes from one region of the sample to the other, endowing the alloy with gradient magnetic properties. Despite the nonmagnetic nature of the constituent materials, the alloy exhibits magnetic properties 3D printing tends to use one ...
