Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost ...

Concordia researchers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses sound waves to directly print tiny structures onto ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Three-dimensional printing technology has been pitched as a fix for America’s housing affordability crisis, promising faster ...

In recent years, 3D printing has advanced rapidly. However, the technology has been trapped ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has unveiled a method for 3D printing that allows manufacturers to create custom-made objects more economically and sustainably. University of Florida engineers have developed a ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting ...
