A group of UK-based researchers has found a way to create more damage-tolerant materials by mimicking the more irregular microscale crystalline structure in strong metal alloys.

A 3D printing technique from UC Berkeley shapes objects all at once rather than layer by layer, allowing for more complex and smooth objects.

Fusion Factory offers the ability for the quick changing of multiple materials, including special materials with complicated handling requirements such as refractory metals, ceramics and magnetic materials.

New soft robots fabricated using a 3D-printing process and can be remotely controlled using a magnetic field.
