3D printing, an additive manufacturing (AM) technique, has the potential to revolutionize how we produce objects that we want and need in the modern world. Among other developments, innovations in ...

The method of fabricating structures and devices at the nanoscale, known as nanofabrication, has resulted in major developments in several fields, such as electronics, medicine, and materials science.

Composites of continuous carbon fibers and thermoset polymers can now be made using a new 3D printing technology. Such composites are strong and lightweight and may find applications in many ...

3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, has become a very useful technique for fabricating very small and complex structures. Its initial inception facilitated the creation of ...

From medicine to electronics and optics, new materials developed by scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) can be applied in various fields where cleanliness, precision, and durability ...

Bundles of stainless steel fiber are used to reinforce layers of 3D printed plastic parts to create a robust, electrically conductive composite material. Metal 3D printed composite parts are produced ...

Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These ...

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from California and South Korea have discovered a way to use a water-soluble polymer as a new, recyclable material for 3D printing. This polymer can also be combined with ...

The facility is home to the world’s largest polymer 3D printer, which is capable of printing hundreds of pounds of material ...
