Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a completely new type of 3-dimensional (3D) printing method for producing an object by focusing ultrasound onto material that changes in state by stimulation to solidify it into a desired shape. The method for 3D printing according to an embodiment includes providing material which changes in state by stimulation, setting a target focal point in the material, focusing ultrasound onto the target focal point using at least one ultrasound transducer, and applying stimulation to the material using the focused ultrasound to induce a change in state of the material. According to the embodiments, it is possible to control the precision of the output by controlling the frequency of the ultrasound transducer or the size of the target focal point on system.
