Though 3D printers are still too expensive to make their way across the globe into our homes next to our tablets and flat-screen TVs, the few lucky early adopters who got their hands on them have ...

MIT researchers have developed a generative AI system that allows users to personalize 3D-printed ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Civil and systems engineers at Johns Hopkins University have a turned a longstanding problem with 3D printers into a multifunctional feature: The team developed a new printing technique that solves ...

Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions have embraced 3D printing as a tool for display, storage, preservation and conservation, and more. However, there is not much known about the safety ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...

D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it ...

Ordinarily, the 3D printing of multi-colored, multi-textured objects is a relatively complex and inefficient process. That could soon change, however, thanks to a clever new technique in which a ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature. The ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

Scientists are pushing the limits of 3-D printing with these shape-shifting materials NBC: Jim McGuffin-Cawley, interim dean of the Case School of Engineering and the Arthur S. Holden Professor of ...
