Hear us out: This is a Christmas tree, but it’s also a step toward 3D-printed moon igloos. Researchers from the University of Amsterdam put a slightly modified 3D printer inside a vacuum chamber and ...

Large-scale additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, has drawn attention for its potential to create affordable, quickly constructed structures—like in Austin, Texas, where the technology was recently ...

Inkjet printing on textiles has emerged as a transformative technique that combines precision digital printing with advanced dye chemistry. This approach exploits the interplay between engineered ...

3D printing is common in professional and academic laboratories as researchers discover innovative uses. Its central function is to quickly create complex 3D structures with great precision. The ...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated how to use commercial 3-D printers to create a structure with active chemistry. Many materials -- sugars, thermoplastics, glass, metals, ceramics and ...
