Why this deformable antenna has advantages compared to a foldable origami antenna. How the team designed and fabricated this iris-patch antenna design using 3D printing. The performance they modeled ...

Plastics are wonderous materials, much loved for their ability to elastically deform and spring back to their original shape. They’re a category of materials perfect for creating things like living ...

Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

One of the continuing struggles with FDM printing is making sure that parts that should fit together actually do. While adding significant tolerance between parts is an option, often you want to have ...

A quick look at the new 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms I've built. Starting in the next few weeks, I'll be releasing a series of videos showing you how to use 3D printing and arduino ...
