While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to ...

Concordia researchers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses sound waves to directly print tiny structures onto ...

IMDEA and UPM have developed deformable woven nitinol metamaterials that combine metal strength with textile flexibility.

This is a completely new chapter for construction and manufacturing. Printing underwater fundamentally changes how we ...

And it’s worth thinking about exactly how remarkable it is that the new humanoid robots are able to replicate the smooth, fluid, organic movements of humans and other animals, because the majority of ...

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 ...

Building or repairing structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be quite difficult. That's why scientists are creating a ...

Australian researchers have succeeded in printing structures with additive-free concrete underwater without the concrete flowing away.

(Nanowerk News) A new process developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) enables printing of nanometer-scale quartz glass structures directly onto semiconductor chips. A hybrid ...
