To publicly demonstrate the powerful and as-yet-untapped capabilities of 3D printing, Luis Fernando Velásquez-García, a principal research scientist at MIT, had his team use it to make a miniature ...

Mass spectrometers are extremely precise chemical analyzers that have many applications, from evaluating the safety of drinking water to detecting toxins in a patient’s blood. But building an ...

From Austin to Marfa, ICON and HiveASMBLD show how 3D-printed homes cut costs, speed builds and boost sustainability across ...
