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 ...

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting ...

A team of scientists has unveiled a method for 3D printing that allows manufacturers to create custom-made objects more economically and sustainably. University of Florida engineers have developed a ...

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 ...

Researchers are using an innovative 3D-printing technique that could revolutionize the quest to resurrect extinct animals ...

Princeton engineers have developed an easily scalable 3D printing technique to manufacture soft plastics with programmed stretchiness and flexibility that are also recyclable and inexpensive—qualities ...

Like modern-day alchemists, metallurgists are constantly discovering and perfecting recipes for better alloys. A crucial step ...

3D printing has become one of the most efficient and affordable ways of creating simple, specific items without having to purchase them. But while 3D printing can save you money on some things, it's ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...

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 ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with distinct domains that mimic the hardness or flexibility of skin, ligaments, ...
