Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when ...

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 ...

In a leap forward for materials science, a multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a pioneering method of 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), enabling complex, ...

Apple today highlighted its use of 3D-printed titanium in a trio of devices, the step-by-step process involved, and a few ...

Over the past years, additive manufacturing (AM) has become a common tool for hackers and makers, with first FDM and now SLA 3D printers becoming affordable for the masses. While these machines are ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

The technique is more efficient and can be used to print metal oxides, such as iron oxide (rust), which can then be reduced into metal. Rust powder is lighter, more stable, cheaper, and safer to ...

Researchers created a hybrid 3D printing system with a resin that cures under blue light and liquefies under UV, enabling ...

A 3D printer that can build a large house in one day already exists, and it may be headed to the moon. Discover how this is ...

D Printing is reshaping industries with faster production and lower costs, drawing investor interest. Stocks like PRLB, AME and ATI offer strong growth potential.

As amazing as the human body is, it’s unfortunately not as amazing as e.g. axolotl bodies are, in the sense that they can ...
