Performance enhancing smart textiles intended for use in athletics, extreme sports and military applications are in their infancy. E-textiles that can regulate body temperature, reduce wind resistance, control muscle vibration, or guard…

The world’s first autonomous rocket factory, Relativity, has landed a contract with Telesat, the renowned global satellite operator, that allows it to play a role in Telesat’s innovative LEO satellite constellation. Telesat will now have…

Advances in 3D printing make it possible to 3D-print your own prosthetic from models found in open-source databases. But those models lack personalized electronic user interfaces like those found in costlier, state-of-the-art…

In the quest to determine how what happens in one part of the brain affects what happens in the rest of the brain, researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a transparent brain implant for mice using 3D-printing. By…

It's been quite a topic of concern lately, take-out containers and to-go coffee cups creating a large amount of waste that ends up in landfills and contaminating the Earth. That's why, for the last few years, a Brooklyn-based design company…

A private launch company that just hit the spotlight Summer 2018 is now making headlines for revealing the world's largest 3D-printed rocket engine. Orbex publicly unveiled its Prime rocket for the first time at the opening of its new…

A new 3D-printed rubber material developed by researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering means that perhaps we won't have to trash our worn down shoes. Instead, we can simply let them self-repair.…

Shanghai is now home to the world's largest 3D printed pedestrian bridge. The bridge, created by Central and South Land Digital Architecture Research Center Professor Xu Weiguo and his team, was built using self-developed robotic arm 3D…

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created 3D-printed flexible mesh structures that can be controlled with applied magnetic fields while floating on water. The structures can grab small objects and carry water droplets,…

Piezoelectric materials inhabit everything from our cell phones to musical greeting cards. Now, researchers from Virginia Tech's College of Engineering have developed methods to 3D print these materials, and as a result can be…
