Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

The ancient grain sorghum is being included in some unique modern food-making at the University of Arkansas, including work with 3D printers. The scientists are using the grain's protein to develop an ...

A San Francisco-based company, Emerging Objects, has created new 3D printing materials that aren't just the standard plastic, but composed of wood, concrete, and even salt. Share on Facebook (opens in ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

3D printing has already been put to use in many interesting applications, from large-scale homebuilding to robot hands that are good at Super Mario Bros.—and even creepy materials that can shape-shift ...

Most consumer 3D printers use “ink” made of colored plastic line. But despite the self-reliant and Earth-friendly bent of many 3D printing hobbyists, it’s surprisingly difficult to find 3D printing ...

‘Ink’ used to make foods and novel materials by additive manufacturing have been developed by food engineers from modified starch. 3D printing is attractive to food manufacturers for a number of ...

Image that products could be strengthened with the same living materials that provide nutrients to strengthen trees. Professor Qiming Wang's research lab is one of the first to infuse 3-D printer ink ...

We spend a lot of time thinking of how to create 3D objects, but what about being able to print full color graphics on the objects we create? This isn’t just multicolor, this is full-color! Here’s one ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon recently introduced a fully recyclable ink for 3D printing that is made from the abundant industrial byproduct lignin. This ink, presented in a paper ...
