Researchers have developed a light-driven 3D-printing method that speeds up printing 100 times, making it more viable for smaller manufacturing jobs with shorter deadlines.
A robotic hand fabricated using multi-material 3D printing is exploring new possibilities for passive movements using mechanics, according to researchers at Cambridge University.
An ingestible sensor can be used to deliver medications inside the human body and communicate relevant information to doctors and patients using Bluetooth technology.
The 3D printing processes of laser metal deposition (LMD) and directed energy deposition (DED) are revolutionizing how the aerospace industry designs and builds high-value components across the manufacturing spectrum from prototyping to production.
Researchers in China have designed a soft robotic actuator using multi-materials 3D printing that can respond to weight-bearing loads with a fast responsive to help compete with rigid robots on similar tasks.
While additive manufacturing has received attention for its promise of mass customization and generative design, not everyone believes it’s ready for large-quantity production.
