Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a specialized 3D printer that utilizes food ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

Illusory Material, the winner of the Experimental category in the 2020 Innovation by Design Awards, is a method for designing and printing dynamic objects, with potential applications in fashion ...

3D printers are affordable enough that almost anyone can buy one, ... 3D printers can build three-dimensional objects out of a variety of materials. ... design studios, schools, ...

This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn't use before ...

3D printers can only create objects from 3D models, and 3D models get made by someone using a CAD program. ... and the benefits are not limited to those who design objects from scratch.

On the other hand, 3D printing is ideal for creating molds, so you can design your object in a CAD program like Autodesk's Fusion 360, print out a prototype, and refine it until it meets your needs.

Recycling of Multi-Material 3D Printed Objects through Computational Design and Disassembly by Dissolution Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

A new 3D printer capable of manufacturing objects with up to ten materials at once has been unveiled.. MIT's (apparently very busy) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL ...

This is the first biodegradable 3D-printed plastic on the market, and it is also food safe, which means you can make cups, plates, and cutlery out of this vaguely tan-colored plastic.

Students used the College of Art and Design’s Fab Lab to digitally design laser-cut molds that were then deployed to transform digital concepts into blown-glass vessels. For the final project, teams ...
