Researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for ...

Let’s get this out of the way first: Christoph Laimer’s 3D-printed watch (with tourbillon) is large, fairly inaccurate, and only runs for about 30 minutes. But it’s one small step for Swiss ...

As a lover of all things mechanical, I’m in awe of Chris Fenton’s Entabulator. Using an old book about mechanical loom-making, a 3D printer and some serious patience, he engineered a computer that can ...

We would all like to 3D print in metal, but for now, the equipment to do that is out of reach for most of us. Instead of dealing with powder printers or metal-bearing polymers, [Robert] has a simple ...

Bespoke manufacturing by design and on-demand is the ultimate goal for various fields ranging from biomaterials to structural materials. Today, additive manufacturing is a quick-moving, ...

The University of Guam (UOG) is central to that vision. The university is partnering with ASTRO America and the Colorado ...

The next edition of the Apple Watch Ultra will feature titanium mechanical parts where some have been produced by 3D printing to save time and cost, says analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple is not likely to ...

The piezoelectric materials that inhabit everything from our cellphones to musical greeting cards may be getting an upgrade thanks to work discussed in the journal Nature Materials released online Jan ...

Infrared sensors, which act as the "seeing" component in devices such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, 3D face recognition ...
