RIT engineering technology researcher Christopher Lewis develops self-healing materials to improve 3D printing processes and ...

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

A team of researchers at Princeton University have 3D printed a contact lens fitted with electronics which enable it to beam projections of coloured light, just to show they can. The hard plastic ...

This image shows a printed micropillar forest submerged in the photopolymer resist prior to development. The forest contains 900 micropillars over a 7 mm × 7 mm area and was printed in less than 90 ...

3D printers are all the rage with enthusiasts, but they didn’t just materialize out of nowhere like the sculptures they produce. Here’s the untold story of how the next big boom in technology came to ...
