ANSWER: Cilllia
Explanation:
Scientists have created a new software that rapidly and efficiently models and prints thousands of hair like structures which takes a huge amount of computational time and power through conventional software. - 3D printers can print anything from a sports car to human skin
- Researchers at MIT have now developed a new technique to bypass a massive design step in 3D printing
- Team created a new software platform called Cilllia that determines the angle, thickness, density and height of thousands of hairs in just a few minutes
- Using Cilllia, researchers designed arrays of hair like structures with resolution of 50 microns about the width of a human hair
- New technology can be used to print wigs and hair extensions, adding 3D printed hair could perform critical tasks such as sensing, adhesion and actuation.
- Work inspired by hair like structures in nature provide benefits in case of human hair and movement in case of cilia which removes dust from lungs
