The additive layer process of conventional 3D printers means they are usually limited to bottom up fabrication on three axes. The Mataerial printer managed to defy gravity by using a quick-solidifying ...

“3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing, but we’re not aware of previous technologies that allowed you to print 3D metal objects at room temperature in a single step,” says Michael Dickey, ...

The 3D printing revolution is a pretty regimented one, when you think about it. You detail the design, feed it into the printer, then sit back and watch as it emits ...

First author Alina Elter (right) and Wibke Johnen, the medical technician responsible for the design of 3D printed objects, discuss a new 3D printed prostate attached to a silicone bladder for use in ...

Fast forward to 2005, and a new Gel printing technology was unveiled in Japan. Ricoh’s press release tells us that: “Unlike traditional dye and pigment-based inkjet printers, the GelSprinter uses a ...

Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

The process begins with a solution containing micron-scale copper particles suspended in water. A small amount of indium-gallium alloy, which remains in a liquid state at room temperature, is added to ...

A novel 3D printing technique suspends light-curing resin in a gelatinous medium rather than using conventional structural support material during the build process. The gel acts as an omnidirectional ...
