It is known that 3D printing makes manufacturing a lot easier and more precise than traditional manufacturing methods such as molding or machining. Some printers can 3D print using metals and alloys, ...

Lattice structures are networks of interconnected nodes arranged in repeating or gradually varying patterns called cells.

3D printing is a powerful tool for creating all kinds of stuff, but it has its limits. Hobbyist-focused machines that dispense melted plastic through a nozzle can only make parts that are so strong.

The promise of 3D printing in automotive applications is clear for all to see, but it still takes clever engineering to get the most out of the futuristic process. It likely won’t come as a surprise ...

LEGO are perhaps the perfect children’s toy, at least until you step on the errant brick while walking around the house. Available in all kinds of sets with varying themes and characters, they ...

The new John Deere tractors rolling off the manufacturing line in Mannheim, Germany, have a first for the company: a metal 3D-printed engine part. The global manufacturer of agricultural and turf ...

As a metal platform rises from a vat of liquid resin, it pulls an intricate white shape from the liquid — like a waxy creature emerging from a lagoon. This machine is the world’s fastest resin-based ...

[Ivan Miranda] is all about big 3D prints. He’s now set about printing giant blocks in the vein of LEGO Technic to build himself a full-sized rideable go kart. The project is still in progress, but ...

Brandeis MakerLab Maker in Residence Clara Alexander discusses her work on the Glyph Block Project. The Glyph Block Project is based on archaeological materials recovered from the ancient Maya site of ...

Shoe box-sized CubeSats are becoming increasingly important in space exploration and collecting scientific data. But these tiny satellites need efficient and precise propulsion systems for in-orbit ...
