3d printing

MIT researchers innovated a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, which can sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. They create the sensing structures using one material and a single…

Today, assembly line robots are difficult to transition to other tasks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when car manufacturing companies shifted their production from cars to PPE, they relied on people to man assembly lines. A team from…

Bryan DeLuca from eeDesignIt.com 3D prints a Lightsaber Hilt. The video shows the fit and finish of the Luke Skywalker lightsaber parts. The simple design is a quick and easy 3D model build. Want to DIY? Grab these below: LEGOO Mars 3…

Bambu Lab announced today that its X1 Series is ready for pre-order through Kickstarter on May 31. The X1 Series features AI-powered automated capabilities. A Quad-core SoC and dedicated 2TOPs Neural Processing Unit, matching Bambu Micro…

With most 3D printers, objects are built up layer by layer. But what if they didn’t have to be? Dan Congreve, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Stanford and former Rowland Fellow at the Rowland Institute at Harvard…

By Carolyn Mathas There is a lack of robot dexterity partly because artificial grippers are missing the fine tactile sense of the human fingertip. Two papers published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface provide the…

By Carolyn Mathas 3D printing, creates objects by addition of material, layer by layer and metal powder is typically used. The powder is produced using atomisation, in which a molten metal stream is broken up into fine droplets using air…

The few focused ultrasound devices for preclinical research are expensive, bulky, and lack the precision needed for small animal research. Hong Chen, associate professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and…

A low-cost, biodegradable, 3-D printed, self-healing jelly may be changing the face of soft robotics. The material can detect damage and initiate healing, all without human intervention. It can do so at room temperature rather than…

I love old films. When reading about Georgia Tech's recent announcement regarding their combination of rubber material with an innovative 3D structure to replace liquid electrolytes in batteries, an old mid-1960s film, The Graduate, came to…
