Beyond 3D-printed dinners, additive manufacturing has helped create artificial jaws, better prosthetics, and even brain tumors. Researchers at MIT have found a way to print 3D structures that remember ...

Ordinarily, if you want to change the shape in which an object is 3D-printed, you have to alter the computer model that tells the printer what to do. A new and simpler technique, however, allows the ...

You can now design objects just by typing what you want. AI turns your words into 3D shapes, and robots build them from ...

The team tested mmNorm’s ability to reconstruct more than 60 objects with complex shapes, like the handle and curve of a mug. It generated reconstructions with ...

In this article, we'll explore how this innovative method, which employs multiple acoustic holograms, works and examine its potential applications and limitations. What are Acoustic Holograms, and How ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

In a new Harvard University-designed system, however, that buckling action allows flat-packed objects to be twisted into useful three-dimensional forms. Most existing "buckling-induced deployable ...
