Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

Springs are great, but making them out of plastic tends to come with some downsides, for fairly obvious reasons. Creating a compliant mechanism that can be 3D printed and yet which doesn’t permanently ...

3D printing production looked like it might be the answer to the long-term promise of mass customization. Can you take the efficiencies of mass production manufacturing and apply them to build-for-one ...

A new consortium of leading 3D printing companies has been created to address the most pressing challenges that manufacturers face in adopting and scaling 3D printing technology for industrial use.

EPFL researchers have discovered that a soft material originally optimized for 3D printing may solve a longstanding challenge ...

While inventors haven't quite given us a "Star Trek" replicator, 3D printers are the next best thing. After success with titanium printing, Apple will tackle the challenges of 3d printing with ...
