3D printers — machines that can fit on a desktop and create 3D objects from plastics, metals, and other raw materials — can do just about anything. High-precision jets pump out custom medical implants ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

1. Cilllia software leverages the micron resolution of an Autodesk 3D-printer to generate hairy and texturized surfaces. MIT’s Tangible Media Group presents intuitive software that enables 3D-printing ...

Hitem3D 2.0 adds a portrait mode described as "strand-level fidelity," aiming to reconstruct head shape and facial proportions structurally while preserving fine detail like hair flow direction, brows ...

Using 3D-printed food, researchers have found it's possible to change the way we taste by the way food is structured. 3D-printing a structure of chocolate and cream cheese, they found that the order ...

While Jonathan Blutinger, GSAS ’21, was pursuing a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, he had an unusual idea. He wanted to use 3D-printing technology to ...

Arguably one of the most difficult aspects of 3D printing is trying to make the finished product look like it wasn’t 3D printed. It can take a lot of time and work to cover up the telltale layer lines ...

The Market is Exploding Faster Than Anyone Expected The Market is Exploding Faster Than Anyone Expected (Image Credits: Pixabay) The Food 3D Printing Market size is estimated at USD 0.89 billion in ...

There are all kinds of critical infrastructure lying beneath the surface of our oceans – road and rail tunnels connecting ...

Scientists claim to have created the first ever synthetic tongue using 3D printing. The 'biometric tongue', developed in the UK, mimics the elasticity, wettability and unique rough texture of a real ...
