HRL Engineers 3-D print high-strength aluminum, solve ages-old welding problem using nanoparticles
HRL Laboratories has made a breakthrough in metallurgy with the announcement that researchers at the famous facility have developed a technique for successfully 3D printing high-strength aluminum alloys—including types Al7075 and Al6061—that…
MIT’s New Polymer Discovery enables 3-D printed Self-folding Electronics
MIT researchers have designed 3-D printed structures that can fold themselves up without any outside stimulus, and the folding begins the instant it is peeled off the printing platform. As 3-D printing…
MIT study reveals a new way to enhance or reduce the adhesion of freezing droplets.
When freezing droplets impact a surface, they generally either stick to it or bounce away. Controlling this response is crucial to many applications, including 3-D printing, the spraying of some surface coatings,…
Low-cost wearables manufactured by hybrid 3-D printing
New method combines precision printing of stretchable conductive inks with pick-and-place of electronic components to make flexible, wearable sensors Human skin must flex and stretch to accommodate the body’s every move. Anything…
