The technology lays carbon fiber reinforcement directly along the load paths while the additive base structure serves as support for compressive loading.
A custom high-resolution 3D printer and resin formulation enable the inexpensive fabrication of microfluidic devices at a scale well under 100 micrometers for the first time.
Proto Labs (Maple Plain, MN) now offers five different industrial 3D printing processes, producing plastic, metal, and elastomeric components in as fast as one day.
A man suffering from chronic paresthesia—a prickly, numbing sensation—brought on, in this instance, whenever clothing would touch his skin found relief thanks to a 3D-printed support.
A European Union-funded project plans to develop a worm-like robotic borer that will self-line the tunnels it excavates with an in-built 3D printer. BADGER aims to have a follower robot equipped with a printer head and a cylindrical manipulator, tasked to 3D print the walls of the bore with...
