3-D printers typically produce hard plastic objects, but researchers have found a way to produce hair-like strands, fibers and bristles using a common, low-cost printer. The technique for producing 3-D-printed hair is similar to -- and inspired by -- the way that gossamer plastic strands are extruded when a person uses a hot glue gun.
