A combined testing approach offers new insights into how the gyroid infill 3D printing pattern contributes to a part’s overall strength.

D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, ...

AIM3D GmbH (Rostock, Germany) announces that it has succeeded in demonstrating the advantages of its patented Voxelfill process, a 3D printing technique that improves the strength and elasticity of ...

3D printing makes prototyping wonderful. But what do you do when your plastics of choice just aren’t strong enough? For [Michael Memeteau], the answer was to combine the strength of a vacuum-… ...

Desiccant is common in 3D printing because the drier plastic filament is, the better it prints. Beads of silica gel are great for controlling humidity, but finding a porous container for them that is ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its strength, when he ...
