3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has emerged as a groundbreaking technology that is transforming the way we design, manufacture, and interact with physical objects. From creating ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...

A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based ...

The conversation around 3D printing and traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding or thermoforming is often oppositional, but it’s not always a question of one versus the other. In ...

In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea ...

The concept of rheology refers to a branch of physics that studies fluids. It examines how materials behave when they flow or ...

The movie Back to the Future showed us cars hovering in air in an idea of what 2015 would look like. Now in 2016, we see our cars still bound to the earth. However, when the movie was made, in 1985, ...

They say you only have one chance to make a first impression, but sometimes perception presses the reset button. About a decade ago, 3D printing hit the headlines as a ‘game-changing’ technology along ...

Prototype parts are 3D printed in the new Advanced and Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence to troubleshoot the machines at Rock Island Arsenal, Ill. (Debralee Best/U.S. Army) WASHINGTON — The ...

While current NMC cells have to retain at least 80% capacity after 2,000 cycles, a battery made through the Kavian system reached 4,000 cycles with 83% left.

Achieving proper drug dosages , particularly for pediatric patients, has been a pivotal point of research in pharmacology.

Bespoke manufacturing by design and on-demand is the ultimate goal for various fields ranging from biomaterials to structural materials. Today, additive manufacturing is a quick-moving, ...
