Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle — scientists boast of the extremely fine output from ‘necroprinting’

According to a recent discovery, a deceased female mosquito’s blood sucking proboscis makes for a great high-resolution 3D printer nozzle. A team of researchers at McGill University in Montréal was looking for ideas to create an ultra-fine, low-cost, and sustainable 3D printing nozzle, and this mosquito body part seems to be almost perfect for the job. TechXplore reports that these nozzles can be used for 3D printing extremely fine objects, with smooth surfaces – ideal for aerospace, dentistry,…
