3d printing

Quantum Integration demonstrates its versatility and interchangeability with its ability to replace complex code in existing DIY projects through its simplified, wireless platform. Quantum Integration’s easy-to-use platform simplifies the…

COSM Advanced Manufacturing Systems is wrapping up final development and build of electron beam 3D metal printing systems targeting future in-space, lunar, and Martian applications. Funded by an SBIR contract from NASA to support the…

As 3-D printing increasingly makes its way into homes, libraries, and schools, risk researchers are questioning the health and safety implications they may pose, especially to children. The concern is that the particles released during the…

Researchers at MIT led by Michael Foshey have solved the challenges of dealing with varying varnish viscosities in 3D printing. To date, 3D hardware has mastered shape and color, but has been slow to deal with the visual feature of "gloss."…

As soon as COVID-19 testing began, there was a critical shortage of swabs necessary to gather specimens. In response, the Department of Radiology at the University of South Florida (USF) Health in Tampa is designing, developing, and testing…

The “super material” known as graphene, first created in 2004, is stronger than steel, highly flexible, and the best conductor of electricity yet. Its impacts on and applications for transportation, medicine, electronics, energy, defense,…

The ability to measure soil density, the relation between the mass and the volume of a dry soil sample, lets scientists compare nutrient and carbon stocks in soils so they can be better managed. Now, using a regular smartphone camera and…

Coral reefs, key players in ocean biodiversity since they’re home to more than a quarter of all marine species, are in an ecological crisis. Recently, architects and marine scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have jointly…

While 3D printing can produce astonishing things relatively quickly and easily, their printing could be faster and items produced, such as medical devices for patients and stronger parts for airplanes and automobiles, could be more durable.…

A trauma surgeon and a team of engineers have designed and prototyped a new ventilator design that requires no electricity and can be 3D-printed using $10 worth of materials. This could be a game-changer during the COVID-19 pandemic and in…
