WELLINGTON — From the dirt of Flying Cow Road, the $3 million wonder looks like just another barn. Up close, the bare walls reveal thick, gray, smooth layers of concrete placed on top of each other — ...
Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.
Building with 3D printers has matured rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology and material science allow for grander and more ambitious designs. The potential uses are also increasingly ...
Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.
Additive manufacturing can describe two technologies in food production — the more commonly known is 3D printing, which has ...
Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...
A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.
Researchers have developed an ultra-thin optical film that improves the quality of the light used in LCD resin-based 3D ...
