D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a Ph.D. student in the ...

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 ...

Instead of starting with metal-containing resins, the EPFL team first creates a 3D scaffold using a simple water-based gel, ...

Polygons play an essential role in 3D modeling, allowing the design of complex objects with great precision. Learn all about it here!

Dr. Andrea Toulouse from the Institute of Applied Optics receives €1.8 million in funding from the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung as part of the CZS Nexus program to establish a new junior research group. She ...

LEUVEN, BELGIUM — 3D printing has already changed the game for manufacturing specialized products such as medical devices but the real revolution will come when designers start to rethink the shapes ...

A team of researchers from the University of Washington developed a tool that can design a passive gripper that is 3D-printed and can determine the most effective way to pick up an object. The gripper ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...
