D printing isn't just for making parts anymore. It could eventually be leveraged to make the electronics we use today in the ...

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 ...

Engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of the cost of current methods. Rutgers engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of ...

Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take ...

Soft, shape-changing materials are attracting growing interest in applications ranging from robotics to wearable devices, but conventional 3D printing methods are limited to a single actuation mode in ...

Researchers at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering have developed a new approach to nanoscale 3D printing ...

An experimental hollow-tube extrusion approach could dramatically accelerate large-scale 3D printing while reducing material use, though significant ...

A research team led by the University of Cambridge developed a method that combines the ability to 3D print complex shapes and to engineer the structure and properties of metals without the need for ...

Researchers created 'growth printing,' which mimics tree trunks' outward expansion to print polymer parts quickly and efficiently without the molds and expensive equipment typically associated with 3D ...

A team of researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tianmushan Laboratory, and the National University of Singapore has pioneered a new method for crafting an ultra-strong, ductile alloy using 3D ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn't sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...
