Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

The Stratasys Objet500 Connex3 3D printer has been demonstrated to gorgeous effect by designer and engineer Dr Michaella Janse van Vuuren. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get ...

When you zoom in on a fractal you find it is made of more fractals. Perhaps that helped inspire the Harvard 3D printers that have various arrays of mixing nozzles. In the video below you can see some ...

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research. Researchers at Tohoku University's Institute for Materials ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to allow a laser-based 3D printing process that previously could only print with one material now use several at the same time. A team of engineers at ...

While it’s the ideal choice for mass production, injection molding is simply no good for prototyping. The molds are expensive and time-consuming make, so unless you’ve got the funding to burn tens of ...

University of Missouri researchers have developed a new laser-based method to create complex devices with multiple materials — including plastics, metals and semiconductors – all with a single machine ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...
