Refinements in established digital methods and the arrival of novel deposition and printing technologies are expanding the range of materials that can be effectively jetted, even without the imposition of heat. Also some novel methods have obviated the dimensional restrictions of nozzles for the passage of large particles and complex polymers. These advances enable the deposition of temperature sensitive and large cell biologic and highly viscous polymeric materials.
