Researchers created a 3D printer that uses a female mosquito proboscis as the nozzle, achieving micron-scale prints.
The print resolution reached 18–22 microns, about half the size of some small metal tips.
The team notes mosquito nozzles can reduce costs, estimated around 80 cents per nozzle.
Glass tips still outperformed biological nozzles for high-pressure, high-precision tasks.
Researchers aim to strengthen mosquito nozzles with ceramic coatings for greater durability.
Future applications include printing scaffolds for living cells and tiny electronic components.
The project is termed a '3D necroprinter' and used an Aerotech motion stage for precise movement.
The nozzle is selected for its thin, straight, and robust proboscis suitable for steady ink flow.
The study evaluated natural dispensing tips against artificial options to compare performance.
The publication places the work in the context of eco-friendly, low-cost alternatives for 3D printing.
