3D printing has taken off as a niche manufacturing method, enabling consumers to design and build their own goods. As such, it now holds an important place in the manufacturing industry. Objects can ...

Researchers have created software and hardware for a 4D printer with applications in the biomedical field. In addition to 3D printing, this machine allows for controlling extra functions: programming ...

Scientists have successfully developed a super-strong, highly ductile and super-light titanium-based alloy using additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing. Their findings open up a new ...

Most desktop 3D printers use what's called FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. Another term is FFF (or fused filament fabrication). The idea behind both of these is that a 3D print is built up ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new 3D printing method that combines soft and hard properties in a single object by using different colors of light. The process is ...

Additive manufacturing is an innovative technology that is disrupting several industries and research fields. 3D printing techniques possess several advantages over conventional manufacturing methods, ...

New methods for printing objects lead to materials with the flexibility, strength and complexity that nature offers. A new approach in 3D printing uses light to provide flexibility, strength and ...

A single printing resin can take on either soft or hard properties when printed with a 3D printer. This requires a special printing process. A team of scientists at the University of Texas has ...

There are a couple of things that have clearly not happened quite as futurologists predicted, including the paperless office and the move to wholly digital documents. Not only is paper still shuffling ...
