Charles R. Goulding and Leah Nabangi reveal how 3D printing is helping Nigeria’s oil and gas sector cut downtime, localize spare parts, and unlock the full value of historic investments in production ...

While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

The University of Michigan researchers have developed a method for creating ultra-lightweight, waste-free concrete using 3D printing technology called the "Shell Wall." Researchers at the University ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers. Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single ...

Harvard engineers created rotational multimaterial 3D printing that embeds air channels in soft robotic parts, enabling hand-like motion without molds.

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, ...

Sözer's use of 3D printing for jewelry production has evolved, culminating in a sophisticated, highly automated workflow.

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...

3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology is already known to offer a more efficient approach to constructing buildings. A new type of 3DCP is said to be better, resulting in walls that are a claimed 72% ...

We may not have flying cars yet, but 3D-printed organs? That sci-fi fantasy just got one step closer to reality thanks to a rapid 3D-printing method developed by University of Buffalo engineers. Their ...
