To fulfill the boundless design opportunities of 3D printing, engineers must shed a latent bias toward legacy processes, according to HP Chief Technologist Paul Benning.

Ford's fastest-ever Mustang shows the value in carefully tuning even the best parts to get the most from them.

Cooking the big holiday meal gets a bit more exciting with 3D printing and IOT devices.

The technique uses visible light to control polymers and “tune” their mechanical properties. It also enables so-called 4D printing, by which the 3D-printed object can change shape or its chemical and physical properties and adapt to its environment. Recycling and medical technology may benefit.
