3D printing is pushing into all sorts of areas, allowing for rapid prototyping of plastic and metal components, circuit boards and even putting putting an alternative spin on food production — or ...
The typical, consumer-grade 3D printer creates objects made of thin layers of stiff, brittle plastic fused together. Of course, hard plastic isn’t ideal for all projects, so that’s why researchers ...
Without a doubt one of the coolest new things to do in the tech world is 3D printing. People have 3D printed a variety of objects from simple toys to more complex guns that actually work. 3D printers ...
Many 3D printers in the consumer space create plastic objects by manipulating PLA or ABS filament. However, plastic isn't the only material these gadgets work with -- we've seen 3D printers use ...
We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...
March 27 (UPI) --To make wearable electronics, one group of researchers in China has developed a 3D printer that deposits electronic fibers onto fabrics. Most current methods for the production of ...
We’ve seen lots and lots of 3D printers over the last few years, and they almost all have one thing in common: the objects they print are hard* and mostly rigid ...
3D printers usually work by extruding long strings of molten plastic onto a surface. When MIT Media Lab researchers spotted a broken printer squirting out plastic erratically, they had an idea: By ...
From viral runway shows to collaborations with global brands, designer Danit Peleg is ushering in a new era of customizable, ...
A new type of 3-D printer created by Disney Research allows layers of soft fabric to be used instead of plastic or metal. The result is objects that are as soft and pliable as normal 3-D printed ...
Two Australian companies have joined forces to develop a spider-like robot designed to 3D print structures on Earth, and, one ...
