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, ...

3D printing single objects out of different materials can be difficult, if those materials cure at different rates. The new Inkbit system addresses that problem, and has been used to print a complex ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

Students will develop an understanding that objects and materials can be tested to learn about their properties. Students will help plan and conduct different tests on the materials. Students will be ...

Random objects shredded to explore how different materials respond.

Cincinnati Incorporated (CI), a U.S.-based, build-to-order machine tool manufacturer, announced that it has used its Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine to demonstrate that recycled ...
