Conventional methods of additive manufacturing have been affected both by gravity and printing environment: creation of 3D objects on irregular, or non-horizontal surfaces has so far been treated as ...

When it comes to the 3D printing of metal, a process known as selective laser sintering (SLS) is most commonly used. An upside-down variation on the technique has now been developed, for printing ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Collaboration will create specialized materials tailor-made for composite-based additive manufacturing NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impossible Objects today announced a joint development ...

When MIT researchers Jiani Zeng and Honghao Deng came up with Illusory Material, they took inspiration from two seemingly opposite muses: the natural world and the digital world. In both mediums they ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

Cincinnati Incorporated (CI), a U.S.-based, build-to-order machine tool manufacturer, announced that it has used its Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine to demonstrate that recycled ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...
