A novel 3D printing technique suspends light-curing resin in a gelatinous medium rather than using conventional structural support material during the build process. The gel acts as an omnidirectional ...

When MIT researchers Jiani Zeng and Honghao Deng came up with Illusory Material, they took inspiration from two seemingly opposite muses: the natural world and the digital world. In both mediums they ...

Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology, have recently developed a new method to 3D print shape-shifting ...

We have all spent a wasted day shopping, or worse, regretting our purchases. You often can’t find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly or a lamp that matches the fuchsia stripes on your wall. Wouldn’t ...

In modern entertainment, design doesn’t stop at the screen. That’s where 3D artists like Yi Fu become indispensable.

These days, 3D printers can create just about anything – from human organs to deadly weapons. But one innovation we haven’t previously seen in 3D printing? Printer filament made from of ...

Have you ever imagined turning your ideas into physical objects with just a few clicks? Thanks to tools like Tinkercad, what once seemed like science fiction is now an accessible reality for anyone ...

Ever 3D-printed an object and then changed your mind about the design? Maybe the colour was wrong, or it was too small for the intended purpose. Usually, you would be stuck with that poor design ...

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, ...

In 3D printing, size really doesn't matter. If you like a 3D object, you can scale it up or down easily and print at exactly the size you need. Unlike items sold in a store, you have total control ...

One of my first discoveries about 3D printing was the large number of mostly-free objects people have designed and made available for you to simply download and print. You don't have to have an iota ...
