One layer at a time, the laser melts the powder into a solid shape. 3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible with any other method. For example, in 2015 GE designed fuel nozzles for ...

due to the simplicity with which complex 3D forms can be created from a single 2D piece of material. Standard microwave antennas can be reconfigured either electronically or by altering their physical ...

Most of us don’t know how our food is made. We don’t know much about what our burger ate when it was part of a cow, where that cow lived, or how it died. Ditto for the wheat in our bread, or ...

Buying the materials to build a home is an expensive investment. Technology such as the 3D printer might be a solution. In Georgetown, 100 3D-printed houses in the Wolf Ranch community are near ...

Timothy Francisco has a background in English and journalism and is a professor at Youngstown State University. He recently was elected as a trustee of the Shakespeare Association of America, the ...

Instead, 3D printing produces an object from a digital model by layering melted material into a desired shape. Some companies have fabricated slick 3D-printed surfboards with recycled plastics and ...

Tactile display capable of reproducing 3d shapes and textures on flat surfaces for various applications. Immersive applications such as information delivery for the visually impaired, vehicle UI ...

Trimble, which has the SketchUp family of 3D modeling tools, has added a visual search tool to let users find pre-built models based on an image rather than trying to hit on something with a text ...

The process uses acoustic pressure to mold silica gel microspheres and other materials into complex 3D shapes. Pulling that off isn't easy. The team first had to learn how to create complex ...

The company recently demonstrated the technology, using its 3D printers to make working batteries from multiple materials in custom shapes. It’s the first in the world, it says, to achieve this.

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The ...
