南极熊导读：很多时候，轻量化是3D打印零件的重要目标。那么是否可以直接3D打印泡沫材料来实现呢？ 有这样一位科学家父亲曾经这样教育他的孩子们，“虽然我不能改变能源，但是通过3D打印技术，我可以创造更轻的材料，实现结构轻量化，这样可以节省能源 ...

Until now, the size of 3D-printed objects has been limited by the size of 3D printers. In most cases, in order to produce large items used in, say, aerospace, manufactures have had to fasten, weld or ...

June 21 (UPI) --A team of researchers from Texas and China have managed to create graphene foam using a 3D printer. The production method could eventually yield commercial quantities of the material.

The depths of the oceans are filled with animals so bizarre, grotesque and beautiful-looking that they can be mistaken for science fiction or action-movie characters come to life. And we have really ...

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space ...

There are myriad of uses for 3D printers in industrial, research, and consumer applications. The catch in those applications is that the printed objects have to be smaller than the machine that makes ...

(Reuters) - Desktop Metal Inc plans to unveil a type of foam that the U.S.-based industrial 3D printer maker claims could significantly change the way athletic shoes, automotive seats and other ...

FreeFoam is a new family of photopolymer resins containing heat-activated foaming agents that are 3D printed with Digital Light Processing (DLP). After printing, FreeFoam parts are briefly put into an ...
