3D printing has produced everything from tiny prototypes to houses. Now the University of Maine is pushing the technology into a much rougher environment: 🌊 THE OPEN OCEAN. Researchers…
Multicolor 3D printing can create incredible models. But it can also create something nobody wants: a surprisingly large amount of wasted filament. Every time many multicolor systems change from…
3D printing is moving further into everyday footwear. adidas has officially unveiled Futurecool, a new lifestyle sneaker that uses advanced additive manufacturing to create a striking, seamless structure designed…
For decades, one idea has defined 3D printing: Build an object one layer at a time. Researchers at the University of Utah are challenging that fundamental rule. They’ve developed…
What if tomorrow’s food could begin with something we normally throw away? A research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is developing an unusual system that could transform plastic…
Imagine walking into the dentist with a damaged tooth and leaving just a few hours later with a custom 3D-printed permanent zirconia crown. Researchers at the University of Texas…
What if a tiny flying machine didn’t need a conventional motor to generate thrust? Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland have developed microscopic 3D-printed structures that convert sound waves into…
Sometimes the most meaningful applications of 3D printing aren’t about rockets, factories or massive machines. Sometimes they’re about helping a dog take a longer walk. Engineering students at the…
3D bioprinting is moving beyond simply creating the shape of human tissue. Researchers at Penn State are exploring something much more ambitious: bioprinting living cell structures that can be…
What if a brake caliper, suspension upright and hydraulic brake-fluid passages didn’t have to be separate components? Czinger Vehicles is showing what that could look like with BrakeNode, a…
