Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

Researchers have developed a procedure that removes printed ink on plastic films used in flexible packaging getting a product free from ink and suitable for recycling. Researchers at the University of ...

The design studio Nervous System has created a novel process that allows a 3-D printed dress to move and sway like real fabric. The bespoke software behind it, called Kinematics, combines origami ...

Machined tooling contributes to the majority of production costs for many small-run jobs. 3D printing can reduce the cost of plastic cores, molds, and tooling, but there are several considerations to ...

The idea that just about anyone with access to a 3D printer could theoretically spit out a gun with a few clicks is certainly disconcerting, but up until now, the person firing the damn thing was ...

It looks like something out of a dream, and it could be the future of manufacturing. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a process that allows plastic printed with a cheap 3D ...

Surfers seem like a fairly eco-minded bunch, which is why it's ironic that most surfboards are made of petroleum-based, non-recyclable expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The Sea Mink is different, in ...

No longer must your 3D-printed objects be bald. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University figure out how to 3D-print troll hair, brush bristles and horse tails. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser ...

RESTON, VA—April 29, 2014—Graphic communications has come a long way since simple ink on paper and GRAPH EXPO 14, coming September 28 - October 1 with co-located CPP EXPO to Chicago's McCormick Place, ...

Earlier this year, Cody Wilson, the 25-year-old founder Defense Distributed, a Texas-based group that promotes the use of 3-D printed guns, fired a .380 caliber bullet from a plastic gun called the ...
