(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to pattern materials into arbitrary three-dimensional (3D) microstructures is important for electronics, microfluidic networks, tissue engineering scaffolds, photonic ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from ...
Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...
It’s tough times for 3D-printing. Stratasys got burned on Makerbot, trustful backers got burned on the Peachy Printer meltdown, I burned my finger on a brand new hotend just yesterday, and that’s only ...
Nature’s porous materials, bone, coral and cork, are synonymous with strong and lightweight structures. Driven by the prospect of producing a family of materials with unique combinations of properties ...
