Scientists from the federally funded Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois and the University of Virginia have developed a ...

However, MIT has figured out a way to deliberately mix full extrusions with under extruded layers to print structures that behave more like cloth than normal 3D printed items. The mesh-like ...

However, sometimes 3D printers make mistakes by extruding too much material, too little, or putting material in the wrong spot. Researchers at MIT have harnessed a common 3D printer defect to ...

The researchers used a 3D printer to shape the paste into mesh-like patterns. The patterns are then cured in an oven to create flexible silicone structures that can be controlled -- stretched and ...

A similar method could print customized wearable and implantable medical devices. MIT engineers have designed pliable, 3D-printed meshes that can be adjusted in terms of flexibility and toughness ...

Engineers have designed pliable, 3D-printed ... designed wavy patterns, which he 3-D-printed using thermoplastic polyurethane as the printing material. He then fabricated a mesh configuration ...
