While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

Harvard engineers created rotational multimaterial 3D printing that embeds air channels in soft robotic parts, enabling hand-like motion without molds.

High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

New Harvard 3D printing technique builds twistable, bendable robotic muscles in a single print with programmed movement logic ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...

Engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of the cost of current methods. Rutgers engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of ...
