Hot glue experiment could expand options for 3D printing materials

Recent experiments have explored the potential of using hot glue in 3D printing, highlighting its similarities to traditional printer filaments. Engineer Jón Schone successfully converted a hot glue gun into a 3D printing extruder, overcoming challenges related to material feeding and heat levels. This innovation could lead to the development of new 3D printing materials and methods with applications ranging from bio-delivery systems to printing metal components in space.
