3D printing is a downright futuristic technology. People can use plastic filaments, resin, and other materials to create custom objects ... Plus, they just look cool. No two people decorate ...

Most of what's come out of this brilliant marriage of CAD software and mechanical ... 3D printable objects and source designs, and is one of the coolest examples I've seen of a very simple printed ...

UW engineers have developed the first 3D-printed plastic ... found that those mechanical motions can trigger gears and springs that connect to an antenna, all within the object.

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

Rather than use batteries to power the 3D-printed object or sensor, the researchers tapped into mechanical motion. When flowing liquid turns a wheel or a button is pushed, gears and springs ...

What’s cool about 3D printing is that it makes ambitiously designed objects way more feasible ... It can replicate the mechanical properties of the trachea. That’s right: a living, biological ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one ... Marwa AlAlawi, a mechanical engineering graduate student at MIT; and Jose ...

“3D-printed objects have a very different physical structure than their traditionally made counterparts, and the type of additive manufacturing process that someone chooses to use can have a ...
