Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

3D printers have, surprisingly, been in existence since the eightie recently that they’ve become affordable. And, while it’s not quite the same as having a replicator in your home, there’s a definite ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. EA generates a random blueprint from which it models a 3D object ...

In May-June 2022, IPI conducted an online survey assessing how collecting institutions are using 3D printing and interacting with 3D printed objects and materials. The survey covered three major areas ...
