New and Existing Materials

Researchers at RMIT University applied ultrasound to metallic materials to improve their microscopic structure for better 3D-printing results.

The microArch system delivers precise prints at a scale more than 100 times smaller than a human hair with a variety of different resins.

Fused deposition modeling with 3D printers using thermoplastic elastomers from Kraiburg TPE.

Developer Toray Industries from Japan says true spheroidization at the micro level could enable the production of practical parts that are high strength and heat-resistant.

Researchers have developed a wood-based ink for 3D printing that maintains the cellular structure of the wood, paving the way for myriad new products.

A new light-based technique developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison allows for more than one material to be printed at a time.

As the hype stage of 3D printing begins to fade, it looks like the do-or-die of additive manufacturing will be in materials that are yet to be release.
