A team of scientists in China developed a method of 3D printing that can form objects almost instantly. Here's what the team built and how it works.

Clean and complete geometry is important for successful 3D printing. A watertight mesh helps reduce common printing problems ...

Origami, the Japanese art of folding flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional figures, is the creative spark behind a new ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and ...

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

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 ...

Welding is typically used to join two parts together, whether those parts be metal or plastic. There are various styles of welding, but we won’t go into those here. Casting is the act of pouring a ...
