The Science Behind 3D Printed Teddy Bear
MIT researchers have created a new programming language to increase the aptitude of industrial 3D printers to output multiple materials, and multiple properties, within a single print. To demonstrate,…
3D Printing Gives Electric “Superbike” Energica More Power
I’ve always thought that, in order to make consumers adopt more ecologically sustainable purchasing practices, all that corporations would need to do is effectively market sustainable products. …
3D Printing with Liquid Metal Heralds a New Era of Electronics, Metals and Robot Apocalypse
3D printing with metal had been conceived of since the early 1970s and, in practice, has mostly been achieved using laser sintering (LS) although these days most people seem to be calling it laser mel…
3D Printing with Self-Setting Rubber
Earlier this month we wrote about Hyrel 3D bringing new 3D Printing materials to the table. Their EMO1 extruder could print such materials as silicone, clay, plasticine and play-doh. Now Hyrel 3D has …
Bone Buildings and Cars? New Fracture-Resistant Bone-Like Material Developed by MIT
In a project funded by the U.S. Army, researchers at MIT have 3D printed a new material that they say is fracture-resistant and resembles human bone. The goal, one might think, would be to develop ide…
ExtrusionBot – The Fastest Filament Maker
The high (fixed?) pricing of plastic filament for an FDM/FFF 3D printer is a known issue in the industry, preventing it from being a more suitable solution for more cost-effective purposes (read: has …
From the Inventor of LayWoo-d3 and LayBrick comes BendLay
Within the borders of Germany there’s a man named Kai Parthy who spends his time inventing innovative and affordable new printing materials for fused filament 3D printers. He first created LayWoo-d3, …
Filabot: Free Your Legos and the Rest Will Follow
Take your children’s toys, grind them up, and print something you like. That’s what Filabot is all about! Well, so, they don’t actually do that? But the company, famous for the Filab…
Graphene + Boron Nitride = Semiconductor
MIT researchers have taken a major step towards making wonder material graphene with a property called a band gap, which is required to utilize graphene in the manufacturing process for electronic dev…
