Civil and systems engineers at Johns Hopkins University have a turned a longstanding problem with 3D printers into a multifunctional feature: The team developed a new printing technique that solves ...

Researchers 3D print 'electronic eyes' at room temperature. The technology allows machines to recognize objects even in ...

A new open-source software tool is changing the way engineers design and print complex 3D objects. Developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, the program—called OpenVCAD—lets users easily design ...

(Nanowerk News) Multimaterial 3D printing enables makers to fabricate customized devices with multiple colors and varied textures. But the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature. The ...

Ordinarily, the 3D printing of multi-colored, multi-textured objects is a relatively complex and inefficient process. That could soon change, however, thanks to a clever new technique in which a ...
