3d printing

Shanghai is now home to the world's largest 3D printed pedestrian bridge. The bridge, created by Central and South Land Digital Architecture Research Center Professor Xu Weiguo and his team, was built using self-developed robotic arm 3D…

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created 3D-printed flexible mesh structures that can be controlled with applied magnetic fields while floating on water. The structures can grab small objects and carry water droplets,…

Piezoelectric materials inhabit everything from our cell phones to musical greeting cards. Now, researchers from Virginia Tech's College of Engineering have developed methods to 3D print these materials, and as a result can be…

Last week, Wiivv, a technology company focused on custom fits with the help of 3D printing, announced that it is partnering with Dr. Scholl’s, leading foot care brand, to help expand the 112-year old brand’s business into custom 3D…

Rather than building up plastic filaments layer by layer, a new approach to 3D printing lifts complex shapes from a vat of liquid at up to 100 times faster than conventional 3D printing processes. While 3D printing could change the game…
