Here's the problem: One disadvantage of 3D printing is that the size of the printer limits the size of your structure. Printing something that is much larger requires either a bigger printer or ...

MIT scientists created a way to 3D print glass-like structures without extreme temperatures. The special mixture used provides good structural integrity and diverse design possibilities. Researchers ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

For a few years now, NASA has been working hand in hand with teams all over the world to further the development of the Artemis program. One team in specific, Texas-based ICON, is looking to 3D print ...

I admit: if I see a beehive, I back away—fresh honey be damned. But part of me is also fascinated. Beehives are a remarkable feat of engineering. Made of materials from tree buds to chewed-up wax, ...

When 3D printing was first introduced in 1985, it marked a major turning point for the manufacturing industry. In addition to being cheaper than traditional manufacturing technologies, it also ...

Deep-penetrating acoustic volumetric printing Design model (left), and top-view (centre) and tilt-view (right) photographs of a vessel network (82 x 68 x 1 mm) printed using sono-ink and 3.41 MHz ...

A collaboration between the University of Michigan and AFRL has resulted in 3D-printed metamaterials that can block vibrations using complex geometries. Inspired by nature and theoretical physics, ...
