Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin optical film that improves the quality of the light used in LCD resin-based 3D ...

Researchers developed a rotational 3D printing method that builds lattices with programmable shape morphing, an advance that could quickly advance 4D printing.

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

If you think at all about liquid crystals, you probably think of display technology. However, researchers have worked out a way to use an ink-jet-like process to 3D print iridescent colors using a ...

It’s pretty wild how much 3D printing is changing things in medicine these days. You know, the stuff that used to take ages ...

There are a few main types of resin 3D printing, like SLA and DLP, each with its own way of hardening the liquid resin with ...

The 3D printing industry is valued at more than $17 billion and it is expected to more than double that by 2026. There are many useful applications for 3D builds, from toys to prosthetics. But buying ...

Completely 3D printed – even the lenses – then painted helmet prop produced by Thingergy, Los Angeles. Movie makers have the creative vision, but it’s the prop maker’s job to bring that creative ...
