The research work, published in Nature Communications, was developed by an interdisciplinary team led by Ulrich Wiesner, a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and ...

That might not always be the case, however, as researchers at Rice University found a way to 3D print complex patterns resulting in plastic objects that are almost as hard and durable as diamond.

Manufacturers Can Now Quickly Produce High-Quality Master Patterns for Investment Casting Production with New 3D Printing Build Processor from Stratasys and Materialise ...

By programming their prototype to move in efficient patterns, and by using a series of small nozzles - rather than a single large nozzle, as is common in conventional printing - to deposit molten ...

If you try to describe 3D printing to someone, you can’t help but channel a little science fiction. “You put designs in this machine, which then just like…makes it.” I’m convinced that ...

Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the possibility of "on-demand knitting." Think 3D printing, but softer.

3D printing master patterns can reduce the investment casting production time from weeks to days, potentially resulting in up to 75% time savings compared to traditional methods of manufacturing ...
