People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven't ...

ABS has a reputation for being one of the more difficult filaments to work with. Even experienced makers often throw up their hands and stick to PLA or PETG when ABS refuses to behave. The usual ...

MIT researchers improve reliability of complex 3D printed parts - enabling digital designs to incorporate the limitations of 3D printers.

Metasurfaces, as 2D artificial electromagnetic materials engineered at subwavelength scales, enable efficient manipulation of ...

Thanks in large part to such initiatives, U.S. efforts to combat proliferation over the last 60 years have succeeded more often than they have failed. Only nine states possess nuclear weapons, and ...

D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

In the heart of Moscow, inside the high-security halls of Rosatom Additive Technologies, a revolution is quietly unfolding-one that could redefine how the world builds its rockets, reactors, and ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a Ph.D. student in the ...

When 3D printing was invented more than 40 years ago, it was a linear process, and its workflow remains essentially unchanged. Typically, users decide on a geometry to print, without precise knowledge ...

University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new open-source tool that enables engineers to design 3D objects ...

Flashforge has an excellent 3D printer that produces high-quality objects and makes multi-color printing simple, but there are tradeoffs at this price. Let's get this out of the way at the top — I've ...
