When 3D printing was first introduced in 1985, it marked a major turning point for the manufacturing industry. In addition to being cheaper than traditional manufacturing technologies, it also ...

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has emerged as a groundbreaking technology that is transforming the way we design, manufacture, and interact with physical objects. From creating ...

Coral restoration could become easier and quicker with the use of 3D printing. As the technology matures, it could be used to rapidly and reliably create support structures for corals to grow on.

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

Here’s the problem: the Army needs a building or bridge for a forward-deployment mission in another country. Shipping a full-scale structure or building materials may not be an option, especially if ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Poor orientation can lead to weak spots, rough surfaces, warping, or excessive support structures. A well-chosen orientation, on the other hand, improves structural performance, visual finish, and ...

The MAPICC 3D project (2011-2016) realized a process capable of producing net-shape preforms from topology-optimized, high-performance structural 3D thermoplastic textile composites. The final product ...
