New erase-and-reprint resin survives 10 cycles of high-precision 3D printing

SMRTR summary

Scientists in Japan developed a recyclable resin for high-precision 3D printing using anthracene, a compound that hardens under light but reverts to liquid when heated to 150°C. Unlike previous recyclable resins, it needs no chemical additives and maintained quality across 10 full print-and-erase cycles.
