Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

When Kenyan triple Olympic gold medallist Faith Kipyegon attempted to become the first woman to run a mile in less than four minutes back in July, she did so wearing a sports bra made from 3D printed ...

Self-healing materials are being developed by RIT researchers to further improve additive manufacturing, specifically 3D-printed products, to make them stronger and more resilient. Christopher Lewis ...

We don’t know about you, but one of the biggest hassles of having a 3D printer at home or in the ‘shop is the space it takes up. Wouldn’t it be useful if you could fold it down? Well, you’re in luck ...

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

LOWELL, Mass.—A Ph.D. candidate at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Lowell's rubber and plastic engineering department, Haley Dobbyn is not only a polymer pioneer, but the commander of an army.

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

We’ve often thought that 3D printers make excellent school projects. No matter what a student’s interests are: art, software, electronics, robotics, chemistry, or physics, there’s something for ...

Whether you want to create a three-dimensional object for everyday use or need to prototype a high-quality part for a larger project, Sears think[box] can help. There are two ways to go about 3D ...

Once the stuff of science fiction, 3D printers are now mainstream tools for creation and innovation. These devices, which transform digital blueprints into physical objects, have dramatically evolved ...
