Scientists have developed a stronger 3D-printed concrete using polymers, capable of withstanding greater loads and bending ...

It is a fact of life that 3D printed parts from an FDM (fused deposition modeling) printer have weaknesses where the layers join. Some of this is due to voids and imperfect layer bonding, but you can ...

Building with 3D printers has matured rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology and material science allow for grander and more ambitious designs. The potential uses are also increasingly ...

A 3D printer can open up a lot of creative possibilities, but there are a few practical realities that beginners should be aware of before buying one.

The barracks cost about $87 million. A traditional build of similar size would have been five times that amount, according to ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

Students at ETH Zurich have developed a multi-metal 3D printing process that can produce rocket engine components in days ...

When most people use a printer, what emerges is only paper. But these days you can print a wrench, a working clock or a killer design for a custom motorcycle. Objects designed on a computer can be ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A new 3D printer can cook food layer by layer as it prints, using artificial intelligence to design complex edible structures. This integrated system, developed at Hong Kong ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...
