If you wanted to 3D print an object that was magnetic in some areas only, you'd typically have to print two separate items out of different metals, then join them together. A new take on an existing ...

In a nutshell: As the construction industry faces pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, developments like impact printing offer a solution. By harnessing abundant earth materials and advanced ...

Building a robot is hard. Building one that can sense its environment and learn how to get around on its own is even harder. But UCLA engineers took on an even bigger challenge. Not only did they ...

[Claywoven] mostly prints with ceramics, although he does produce plastic inserts for functional parts in his designs. The ceramic parts have an interesting texture, and he wondered if the same ...

Researchers at KU Leuven (Belgium) have developed a 3D printing technique that extends the possibilities of lateral flow testing. These tests are widespread in the form of the classic pregnancy test ...

Biologists are studying how engineered biofilms closely mimic natural ones. Their research may aid in developing drugs to fight the negative effects of these microorganisms that adhere to surfaces.

Finding the best t-shirt printer can be hard, given the different printing techniques in the market. From large machines for commercial-scale printing to modified inkjet printers for home use, there’s ...
