As impressive as the 3D printing process is, it can also be a bit time consuming. You are creating something out of nothing after all, and your printer needs to dispense and layer every square inch of ...

[Stefan] is always looking for a way to make stronger and better 3D prints. His latest experiments involve using a texture on thin plastic parts to increase stiffness. You can see the texture pattern ...

McGill University researchers have discovered a new way to fold flat sheets into smooth, curved shells that can switch from ...

The eutectic structure of metals and ceramics occurs when multiple solid phases solidify from a liquid phase, forming a three-dimensional (3D) pattern through a self-organizing phenomenon.

How a 3D-printed design can create a diffraction pattern in a simple science experiment about optics.

CNC and machining specialist Thermwood Corp. (Dale, IN, US) has 3D printed a boat hull pattern using a near net shape additive manufacturing process and then successfully used to produce a ...

Researchers have found a new common thread linking nearly all of the trinucleotide repeat expansion diseases, which include ALS, Huntington's Disease and Fragile X Syndrome, involving the complicated ...
