On page 3279, J. A. Lewis and co‐workers demonstrate multi‐material 3D printing using microfluidic printheads specifically designed for seamlessly switching between two viscoelastic materials during fabrication. This approach opens new avenues for digital assembly of functional matter with controlled compositional and property gradients at the microscale.
