The new technique can be used to create a variety of objects, such as cubes or pyramids, without ever having to physically touch the material.
The process is remarkably simple. Researchers take a pre-stressed plastic sheet and run it through a conventional inkjet printer to print bold black lines on the material. The material is then cut into a desired pattern and placed under an infrared light, such as a heat lamp.
