3D Printing Hair Fibres
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a revolutionary method for creating lifelike hair fibers that only requires a common, inexpensive fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer.

The technique is surprisingly simple yet extremely effective: the printer squeezes out a small dollop of molten plastic and then pulls away, stretching the material into a long strand.
Though the process is long, the resulting
product is reportedly quite lifelike and can
be styled just like the real thing. Plus,
depending on how densely the fibers are
packed and their positioning, they can
potentially be used in a variety of
applications -- from hairpieces to
toothbrush bristles. This technique extends
the capabilities of 3D printing in a new and
interesting way, without requiring any new
hardware.
