Although we may think of 3D-printed items as being hard, they're actually often made from soft gels, as is the case with bioprinted body parts. A new system now allows such objects to be printed ...

While large 3D-printed objects such as buildings may get a lot of attention, the technology is also used to produce tiny, intricate objects. The latter could soon be whipped up faster and in more ...

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 ...

There has been a lot of interest in 3D printing for easing supply chain congestion, especially when it comes to small spare parts. Well, 3D printing’s next big act could be large metal objects.

A new way of 3D printing, shrinking 3D printing, will make 3D printing small objects a breeze. The idea behind the shrinking 3D printer is to print an object and then shrink it to the required ...

Sizes of printed objects run the gamut from approximately 16 to 4,000 cubic inches; however, Shanghai-based WinSun built huge machines to print house walls and trusses. See 3D printing materials.

The smallest object possible, 25 nanometers, is equivalent to only 195 copper atoms in a row. Compared to 3D printing metal powders, which can achieve 100-micrometer resolutions, this method can ...

If you have a 3D printer in your workshop, you probably fret more about how to get bigger objects out of it. However, the University of Amsterdam has a new technique that allows for fast large-scal… ...

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

May 16, 2020 Expandable foam for 3D printing large objects (w/video) (Nanowerk News) It’s a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge ...
