While working on a project that involved super-thin prints, [Julius Curt] came up with selective ironing, a way to put designs on the top surface of a print without adding any height. For those ...

A new paper in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics describes a bioinspired, additive approach for robotic limbs that increases ...

It’s messy. It’s not glamorous. And it’s not easy. 3D concrete printing is happening in Iowa and could become a revolutionary technology for the construction industry in the next 10 years. One hub of ...

Abstract: We propose a method to extract objects embedded in flexible materials, such as cushions, using solely 3D point-cloud data. Conventional plane detection based on RANSAC has difficulty ...

At first glance, it looks like a plain, slightly glossy sheet. Then it goes through a quick bath, the temperature shifts, and ...

Tech investors haven’t given up on the dream of making physical products with the same speed and ease as coding software. Executives at Freeform, a startup developing a novel 3D-printing system for ...

If you thought your Bambu X1 Carbon was fast, a new 3D printing technique that can fabricate complex millimeter-scale objects in just 0.6 seconds may bring some buyer's remorse. To achieve such ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There's probably no need to explain why a 3D printer is an incredible investment if you love to create and tinker. You can use them to make ...

Through the looking glass: In a laboratory at Tsinghua University in China, researchers have successfully tackled one of the most persistent limitations in 3D printing. They have developed a system ...

Today the world of Egyptology faces a silent crisis—not of looting, although that plays a part, but of disconnection. Walk into any major museum, from Copenhagen to California, and you see glass cases ...
