3D-printed revolving devices can sense how they are moving A new system enables makers to incorporate sensors into gears and other rotational mechanisms with just one pass in a 3D printer.

The build starts with a Snudda, which is IKEA’s version of a Lazy Susan. It’s fitted with a 3D-printed gear to allow it to be easily driven.

Positive test results mark a significant step forward in Pratt & Whitney's additive manufacturing capabilities as the turbine wheel is one of the first rotating parts to be 3D printed.

Researchers have fabricated a magnetically driven rotary microfilter that can be used to filter particles inside a microfluidic device. They made the tiny turning filter by creating a magnetic ...

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printers which squirt out molten plastic layer by layer are by far the most popular type in general use. Most machines extrude plastic through a nozzle above pri… ...

Scientists at a British university have become the first make to 3D printed food - for people with swallowing difficulties.

The PrintRoll platform attaches to the modular build plate of the 3D-Bioplotter and features a motor-driven rotating mandrel with spring-loaded, easily exchangeable drums of different sizes.

Even though advances in 3D printing enable rapid fabrication of rotational mechanisms, integrating sensors into the designs is still notoriously difficult. Due to the complexity of the rotating ...
