Space Science: The recently launched Cygnus NG-20 robotic spacecraft is currently docked with the International Space Station (ISS). The resupply mission is packed with supplies for the ISS crew as ...

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, ...

Lattice structures are networks of interconnected nodes arranged in repeating or gradually varying patterns called cells.

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? A team of scientists and engineers led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has developed a process that ...

Could a 3D-printed lamp become a design classic? We look at some recent examples of how this technology can produce timeless ...

The trade-off of an affordable 3D printer is that they’re usually small and can only produce small objects. To make something big, you have to break it down into smaller parts first. But Autodesk has ...

Berkeley -- A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. Nicknamed the "replicator" by the inventors -- after the Star Trek device ...

If you’ve ever experimented with 3D printing, you’ve likely run into one major, frustrating problem: most 3D printers available to the average person are extremely slow, and they can only print ...

When he worked at Shapeways just a few years ago, customers constantly asked Graham Bredemeyer if they could get their designs made out of metal by the 3D printing services firm. Think about it — if a ...

3D printing has done a lot for medical science. It's helped us create better prosthetics, manufacture artificial vertebrae and even develop smaller internal cameras. Next, it could help us ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way for 3D-printed plastic objects to transmit information via WiFi without the help of batteries or electronics. And they show that it can ...
