The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers ...

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 ...

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.

Coming out of the lab of Professor Nikhil Gupta is a new process to 3D-print for the first time the syntactic foam of the type used by marine submersibles, as well as on ships and in aerospace designs ...

Now, a new material reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces can be used to 3D print small objects that expand upon heating. The foam could find applications in architecture, aerospace and ...

Back in February, researchers from Rice University created 3D graphene foam supported by carbon nanotubes, but it was difficult to make. Now, the team has developed a way to 3D print the material.

Although we've seen bicycle helmets with shells made of everything from wood to paper, they've pretty much all featured foam cores.The 3D-printed kupol is a little different, as it utilizes a ...
