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 ...

Since humans started figuring out how to make marks on semi-permanent surfaces and, eventually, how to duplicate those ideas with new processes and tools, printing has evolved into a diverse and ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

This novel printing method can achieve horizontal connection between fine threads under a wide range of printing parameters.” Through the above experimental methods, the effects of printing parameters ...

A research team at UT Austin has introduced a new technique that could redefine how semiconductor components are designed and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich and MIT created a multi-material 3D printed hand using a process invented to enable the innovation of soft robotics. (Thomas Buchner via Courthouse News Service) (CN) — To ...

We may not have flying cars yet, but 3D-printed organs? That sci-fi fantasy just got one step closer to reality thanks to a rapid 3D-printing method developed by University of Buffalo engineers. Their ...

Over the past decade 3D printing has advanced from simple plastic objects to creating intricate designs with multiple materials to bioprinting living tissues, the possibilities are expanding rapidly, ...

Researchers have created a novel 3D printing method that produces materials in ways that conventional manufacturing can't match. The time-honored Edisonian trial-and ...

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...
