Ceramic 3D printing offers complex, high-performance parts, but technical barriers are holding it back. From binder ...

This method of 3D printing can make wood sturdy enough to be used for furniture or parts of buildings in the future. Read more: 3D-printed wood could start flat then twist into furniture as it dries ...

Novel 3D printing method to fabricate complex metal-plastic composite structures Date: November 30, 2022 Source: Waseda University Summary: In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of ...

Scientists have tried to use additive manufacturing—better known as 3D printing —to recreate complex structures from hands to hearts. But the technology stumbles when integrating multiple materials ...

For the first time, researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material. These shapes self-fold in seconds.

They named their approach selective solubility vat photopolymerization (SSVP) and employed it to 3D print complex shapes like gear trains, lattices, and even a small dinosaur inside an egg — the ...

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28, 2023 — The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended ...

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink.

3D printing is a good way to increase engagement with science and engineering in schools. And in our research, we also met older people seeking to update their skills by learning 3D printing.

Three-dimensional printing is transforming medical care, letting the health care field shift from mass-produced solutions to customized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. For instance ...

The group is also experimenting with a combination of kirigami and 3D printing to make even more complex shapes. "When you fold a piece of paper, the level of complexity is somewhat limited, and ...
