🖨️ SCIENTISTS DIDN’T BRING IN A REAL RATTLESNAKE — THEY BUILT ONE. Researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso created a lifelike 3D-printed robotic rattlesnake with help…
⏱️ YOUR 3D PRINTER MIGHT STILL BE GETTING STARTED — THIS ONE IS ALREADY DONE. The custom Minute Man 3D printer, developed by Yan Roetz, crossed a wild milestone:…
🖨️ THE 3D PRINTER STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILD. Researchers at UWE Bristol are exploring a wild combination of metal additive manufacturing and gemstone growth. Using Meltio’s…
🗑️ YOUR FAILED 3D PRINT MIGHT NOT BE TRASH ANYMORE. Broken prototypes, supports, scraps and prints that didn’t come out right can leave makers with piles of plastic. But…
🥽 FROM VIRTUAL OBJECT TO REAL OBJECT. Imagine putting on a VR headset, seeing a 3D object floating in front of you, grabbing it with your virtual hand… and…
EVER COME BACK TO A PRINT COVERED IN TINY PLASTIC SPIDERWEBS? If you use an FFF/FDM 3D printer, you’ve probably seen stringing — those annoying hair-thin strands of filament…
🏈 LOOK INSIDE A MODERN FOOTBALL HELMET. From the outside, it still looks familiar: a hard shell, facemask, chin strap and padding. But inside some advanced football helmets is…
Overview of Microscopic Rotors Researchers have developed arrays containing thousands of microscopic 3D-printed rotors. These rotors, when placed in an environment with external energy, exhibit synchronized patterns and waves.…
Self-Sensing Titanium Components Researchers have developed a method to embed strain sensors directly within 3D-printed titanium components, creating a material that can monitor mechanical strain from within. Key Features…
Introduction Scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a novel, living 3D-printable material designed for future Martian construction. This material, which includes yeast as…
