As desktop 3D printers have inched towards something resembling the mainstream, manufacturers have upped their game across the board. Even the quality of filament that you can get today is far better ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

In a multi-year project, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed plasmonic plastic – a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be ...

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...

Paul Bupe Jr. of the University of Louisville has developed a sensor called 'OptiGap' that can detect where a cable is bent. OptiGap was created during Bupe's doctoral research, and he explains how he ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

B&T Composites was founded to produce filament-wound glass and carbon fiber composite industrial components such as pipes. The company is also expanding into new technologies like photonic sensors, ...
