We don’t think twice about using our hands throughout the day for tasks that still thwart sophisticated robots—pouring coffee without spilling when half-awake, folding laundry without ripping delicate ...

Researchers at UNSW Canberra are exploring whether 3D printing can help close that gap. Their work focuses on biodegradable ...

Today’s additive manufacturing part designs are becoming more complex and pushing the limits of manufacturing, explained Egwin Bovyn, Magics product line manager for Materialise, at Rapid+TCT 2024.

D printing your own telescope is rewarding and customizable, but it rarely saves money once optics, materials, and time are ...

Building 3D printed parts with artificial intelligence (AI) can optimize the design process by generating complex geometries that are lightweight yet strong. This can be difficult to achieve manually.

The accomplishment "paves the way for long-distance and long-duration missions where creating spare parts, construction components, and tools on demand will be essential." When you purchase through ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

None of the aforementioned PC parts and case mods are inherently bad or poor additions to your build. However, lapses in ...

What components of water infrastructure are being 3D printed? Why is the technology beneficial? And how are companies ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those ...
