3D printers are capable of producing complex shapes, but making functioning objects from multiple materials in a single print-run has proved challenging. To overcome this, a team has combined inkjet ...

For a long time, 3D printing has been predominantly male. That's changing, though, and it's for the better. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s.

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are looking into the reliability of metal 3D printing and its ...

Researchers developed a 3D printer that can automatically determine the printing parameters of an unknown material. This could help engineers use emerging renewable or recycled materials that have ...

3D printing socks isn’t really a thing yet. You’d end up with scratchy plastic garments that irritate your feet no end. You can easily 3D print all kinds of nifty little mechanisms, though, so why not ...

In response to a heightened awareness of climate change as well as sustainability goals and regulations associated with it, 3D printing is steadily being used for more sustainable manufacturing. This ...

3D printing typically involves a single machine creating an object. But a team of undergraduate researchers has taken that paradigm far outside its box in the Design, Research, and Education for ...

In today’s fast-paced world of manufacturing, where every minute counts and efficiency is key, unplanned downtime poses a significant challenge. It’s like a silent troublemaker that can suddenly ...
