Researchers find a novel method using light to self-repair 3D printed plastics that have been broken in the process.

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Now, researchers from Japan and Singapore have developed a new 3D printing process for the fabrication of 3D metal–plastic composite structures with complex shapes.

A 3D printing lab situated next to the operating room ready to churn out individualized implants designed from patient data at a moment’s notice is still a long way off.

A new 3D printing method uses light to form hydrogels without free radicals, enabling safer biofabrication with fine detail ...

While most forms of 3D printing utilize simple plastic in one form or another, not all of them do. For example, the process of selective laser sintering, or SLS, makes use of powdered polymers.

Scientists combine materials science invention with newly developed 3D printing technology. Components made of highly transparent glass can be manufactured in just a few minutes and with great ...
