At the center of this breakthrough is the use of shape-transformable liquid metal nanoparticles (LMNPs) integrated into polymers, enabling the direct 3D printing of complex, multi-functional robots.

The resin-based Formlabs Form 3+ (Credit: Joseph Maldonado) Digital light projector (DLP) 3D printing uses a similar technique. This method exposes a liquid polymer to light from a digital light ...

While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser cutters -- he also loves to play board games and tabletop RPGs. Expertise 3D printers ...

3D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, but should you? Before you dive in, here's what to consider—about materials, possible uses, software, and much more. Since 2004 ...

D printing is revolutionizing every industry and sports is no exception. But, what role will 3D printing play in sports?

SLA 3D printers utilize a kind of prototypical plastic called resin, which is selectively cured and hardened into a solid plastic shape. The liquid resin used in this process is highly receptive ...

The "North America 3D Printing Market by Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2019-2029F" report has been added to ...

Inexpensive 3D printers tend to support a limited number of plastic filament types, some of them only PLA and/or ABS. PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable, plant-based polymer, while ABS ...

The process involves focusing a laser beam on a liquid, photoreactive ... used as inks for this highly precise 3D laser ...

For its SS23 presentation, model Bella Hadid was famously used as the canvas for a spray-on dress made with Fabrican, a sprayable liquid fiber. 3D printing has come a long way since its early ...

causing the hydrophobic polymer chains in the PNIPAM ink to densely aggregate and create a solid form. Dissolving the printed structure in fresh water returns the PNIPAM to its liquid form, which can ...

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, in collaboration with their colleagues, have proposed a method for recycling ...
