Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL, Livermore, CA, US) believe they have made a significant advance in the development of micro-extrusion 3D printing techniques for carbon ...

The image of Princess Leia is not what people think it is: It’s not a hologram. A 3D image that floats in air, that you can walk all around and see from every angle, is actually called a volumetric ...

Celwise's innovative and sustainable molded fiber products, which replace single-use plastics, are shown in front of the X1 160Pro™ production metal 3D printer.

Oct. 3, 2022 — Researchers have shown that 3D laser printing can be used to fabricate a high-quality, complex polymer optical device directly on the end of an optical fiber. As described, this ...

For the past few decades, the biggest roadblock to 3D printing has been materials. Many of the most common materials are weak and brittle, limiting 3D printing to modeling and fit prototyping.

Microfiber cloths—soft, absorbent, economical—are often a preferable alternative to using and throwing away a heap of paper towels. But not every time. Here’s how should you decide which to ...

They are also open to collaborating with researchers who would like to incorporate AR coatings into their 3D printed optical systems. Paper: S. Ristok, P. Flad, H. Giessen, “Atomic layer ...

Micro 3D printed micro-optofluidic device. Image Credit: Boston Micro Fabrication. Saitta used 3D printing to create the micro-optofluidic device in a single piece. The group printed the device with ...

A San Francisco-based company, Emerging Objects, has created new 3D printing materials that aren't just the standard plastic, but composed of wood, concrete, and even salt.
