In article number 2000829, Ryan D. Sochol, and co-workers present a morphing nozzle for additive manufacturing of fiber-filled composite materials. This image shows the nozzle changing shape on demand, which provides new means to control fiber alignment during 3D printing. Their results for dynamically adjusting the fiber orientation, and in turn, the swelling properties of printed composites hold promise for “4D printing” applications.
