The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers. Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new 3D printing method, called Crystallinity Regulation in Additive Fabrication of Thermoplastics (CRAFT), has been developed.

It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand. But the seven-second video, which is sped-up from 19 minutes, ...

The hand was printed using a technique called slow-curing, which gives plastics more time to set and makes them more durable. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

We don’t think twice about using our hands throughout the day for tasks that still thwart sophisticated robots—pouring coffee without spilling when half-awake, folding laundry without ripping delicate ...

Researchers have designed a new 3D printing method called Crystallinity Regulation in Additive Fabrication of Thermoplastics (CRAFT) that turns a single, cheap liquid into a material chameleon. The ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...
