A team of scientists in China developed a method of 3D printing that can form objects almost instantly. Here's what the team built and how it works.

Clean and complete geometry is important for successful 3D printing. A watertight mesh helps reduce common printing problems ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...

Engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of the cost of current methods. Rutgers engineers have created a way to 3D print large and complex parts at a fraction of ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and ...

Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take ...

One key to making portable devices more compact and energy efficient lies in the precise nanoscale form of energy-storing capacitors. Researchers in Sweden report they've cracked the challenge with a ...
