Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

3D-printed lattice-like composites can be designed to detect their own strain, load and damage, according to the University of Glasgow. Crucially, the team has a complete theoretical model of the ...

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 ...

Scientists have designed a 3D-printed robotic hand that can grasp and hold objects using the correct amount force. It was created by a team at the University of Cambridge who fitted 16 sensors to the ...

Unique dosage forms, personalized medicine, and flexible manufacturing are possible with 3DP. Additive manufacturing, which is commonly called three-dimensional printing (3DP), offers the potential ...

Holy moly! MIT students never sleep! This new trio of students has solved yet another mystery in the 3D printing world. Some of you may have experienced that moment when you have a power failure or ...
