Until now, the size of 3D-printed objects has been limited by the ... energy and biomedicine. The lightweight foam could also be used in floatation devices.

Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many ...

3D printed foam works better than standard cellular materials in terms of durability and long-term mechanical performance, material scientists have found. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ...

The project examines how foam 3D printing (F3DP) can be used in conjunction with concrete casting. The outcome is a less labor-intensive system that enhances material efficiency and lowers carbon ...

By targeting where that foam goes, it can build up simple structures, essentially becoming a flying 3D printer. The technology could have some very important applications. Developed mainly by ...

When you’re buying an office chair, pretty soon you’re going to have to choose between mesh and foam models. We’ve tested a massive range of the best office chairs, and as a rule of thumb ...

On top of that, these carefully engineered parts provide one of the most sustainably comfortable perches I've had in my office in years. That's where the beauty of 3D printing really shines with ...

A new coffee machine has surfaced that takes advantage of 3D printing tech to make works of art in the foam at the top of a cup of coffee. The printer is called the Ripple Maker and it uses birth ...

Little birds called swiftlets build their cup-shaped nests using their own saliva. Inspired by their nest building, researchers have developed an aerial robot with 3D printing capabilities.

With the addition of a 3D printed “backpack”, he managed to add not only a motor to one of these foam fliers but an RC receiver and servos to move the control surfaces. The end result is a ...
