Voxel-based binder jetting is explored for 3D printing ferromagnetic passive shims for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The resulting shims demonstrate promising capabilities in generating specific magnetic field distributions and showcasing minimal dimensional inaccuracies, enabling shim voxels to...
