Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...

The world of 3D printing is witnessing a significant shift with the introduction of the NAW 3D Pellet Printer, a device that brings the capabilities of industrial-grade pellet material printing right ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

"Such multifunctional and sustainable solutions are still very rare." Researchers develop incredible material that could ...

A skipper will replace his nylon fishing net every 6 months, says Ian Falconer, and most of the time they're buried in a ...

Cody Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, says he is just two weeks away from 3D printing an entire handgun, out of ABS plastic. Once Wilson has printed the gun and ensured that it works, the ...

In the early stages of the pandemic, Evert Claesson threaded plastic strands through his 3D printers and started cranking out N95 masks. A lot of them. "Over 1,000," was Claesson's guess on how many ...

Future surgeries might include a robotic 3D printer restoring body tissue, perfecting reconstructive procedures, or building ...

Gun control is back in the spotlight – this time with a high-tech twist. A federal judge's temporary restraining order aims at blocking plans to upload blueprints necessary for a person to build a ...

This research was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/N024818/1). The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...
