In the scientific community, the technology of manufacturing solid parts by gradually accumulating materials is known as ...

A new imaging technique developed by MIT researchers could enable quality-control robots in a warehouse to peer through a ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to ...

Lincoln Laboratory 3D prints low-temp complex glass structures - unlocking broader use in optics, electronics, and ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using ...

Artificial organ transplants have been held back by the difficulty of making networks of blood vessels - a problem scientists ...

For instance, a 3D-printed model of a child’s heart enables surgeons to simulate complex surgeries. This approach can lead to shorter operating times, fewer complications and lower costs.

The tension these stitches create can warp a two-dimensional fabric into complex 3D shapes, and predicting the final structure of a knitted project challenges crafters and manufacturers alike.

Cartilage for transplant. Bonassar’s team at Cornell University uses 3D bioprinting to make auricles — the outer cartilage that gives ears their shape — using bioink made with collagen.
