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

Harvard researchers have developed a 3D-printing method that could make it easier to build soft robots designed to bend, deform and grip in predictable ways.

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 ...

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 ...

Some 3D printer projects may seem like great ideas, but realistically won't be of much use to you. Take pause before wasting ...

Manufacturers rely on tungsten carbide–cobalt for tools that must survive extreme wear. Yet shaping ...

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

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

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 ...

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Since 3D printers debuted in the 1980s, the devices have been used ...
