Color 3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology that merges advanced material science with digital fabrication to produce objects with vivid, controllable colour properties. Recent ...

Researchers have pioneered a 3D printing method that grows metals and ceramics inside a water-based gel, resulting in exceptionally dense, yet intricate constructions for next-generation energy, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Organogels, polymer networks infused with organic liquids, have long tantalized scientists with their potential for diverse applications due to the wide range of properties ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

A research team led by chemist Dmitry Momotenko of the University of Oldenburg, Germany, has developed a new 3D printing technique for manufacturing ultrasmall metallic objects. Using this, the ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

A new process for microscale 3D printing creates particles of nearly any shape for applications in medicine, manufacturing, research and more -- at the pace of up to 1 million particles a day. A new ...

Imagine holding a 3D-printed part in your hands, marveling at its intricate design, only to have it snap under pressure due to weak layer adhesion. This is the frustrating reality of anisotropic ...

When seeing a story from MIT’s Lincoln Labs that promises 3D printing glass, our first reaction was that it might use some rare or novel chemicals, and certainly a super-high-tech printer. Perhaps it ...

[3DPrintBunny] is someone who continually explores new techniques and designs in 3D printing, and her latest is one she calls “pause-and-attach”, which she demonstrates by printing a vase design with ...

Italian archaeologists' analysis of battle damage marks on the walls of Pompeii using 3D scanners feels a bit like an episode ...
