Established processes for digital light manufacturing print objects that are made from materials called photopolymers and use one of two main configurations. In the first, light patterns are projected ...

Vat photopolymerization (VPP) is a popular option compared to other three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques because of its high efficiency, sizable build envelope ...

Rocket engines are still being built with a manufacturing logic that additive systems are increasingly making obsolete. That ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It looks like science fiction: A machine dips into a shallow vat of translucent yellow goo and pulls out what becomes a life-sized hand. But the seven-second video, which is sped-up ...

One key to making portable devices more compact and energy efficient lies in the precise nanoscale form of energy-storing capacitors. Researchers in Sweden report they’ve cracked the challenge with a ...

Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, application-specific materials. (Nanowerk News) Caltech scientists have ...

Scientists developed a 3D printing method that creates hydrogels with tissue-like properties, paving the way for personalized implants and adaptive soft robotics. (Nanowerk News) Human tissues like ...

Using computer-aided design, 3D printing builds an item up layer by layer in a very precise fashion. Initially, plastics and metal powders were used as the feedstock for the process, but now resins, ...
