Reinventing Metal 3D printing with new Direct Writing process
Metal 3D printing has enormous potential to revolutionize modern manufacturing. However, the most popular metal printing processes, which use lasers to fuse together fine metal powder, have their limitations. Parts produced using…
New 3-D-printed device mimics the Goldbug Beetle, which changes color when prodded.
New 3-D-printed device mimics the goldbug beetle, which changes color when prodded. In this age of smartphones and tablet computers, touch-sensitive surfaces are everywhere. They’re also brittle, as people with cracked phone…
Achieving the full potential of 3D and 4D printing through computational design
3D printers are becoming more and more capable – for example, we can now print in 40 materials simultaneously, or print structures that will change in response to aspects of their environment,…
Zero waste 3D printing
UC Berkeley students have established an initiative to collect and recycle the plastic left behind from 3D printers on campus.
