Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the ...

University of Utah researchers have developed a 3D printing method that creates solid microstructures ...

Origami, the Japanese art of folding flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional figures, is the creative spark behind a new ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

However, applying this approach to 3D requires the laser to pass through the substrate itself, cross‑linking a volume of ...

Clean and complete geometry is important for successful 3D printing. A watertight mesh helps reduce common printing problems ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

In a leap forward for materials science, a multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a pioneering method of 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), enabling complex, ...

The shape of biological structures, ranging from flower petals to the limbs or organs of animals, is often naturally best ...
