Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines. The resulting ...

Advancements in 3D printing have made it easier for designers and engineers to customize projects, create physical prototypes at different scales, and produce structures that can’t be made with more ...

Publishing in the journal International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, the team led by researchers based at the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems deposited different ...

The overlapping method has been proven effective when printing continuous structures with a single material. For complex structures with multiple materials, the overlapping of filaments may induce the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing ...

3D printing has emerged over the past four decades to become a major cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution. Today, affordable desktop 3D printers are used by hobbyists worldwide, with 3D ...
