Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

A good 3D printer no longer needs to cost a fortune to support multicolor printing. Here, we've picked five affordable options you should consider.

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

Admittedly it’s a bit of a niche application, but if you need lots of flat 3D printed objects, one way to go about it is to print them in a stack and separate them somehow. An old(er) solution is to ...

A new 3D printer capable of manufacturing objects with up to ten materials at once has been unveiled. MIT's (apparently very busy) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) ...

Modern multi-material printers certainly have their advantages, but all that purging has a way to add up to oodles of waste. Tool-changing printers offer a way to do multi-material prints without the ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Panasonic Factory Solutions Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (Panasonic), and Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) have developed ...

3D printing has advanced considerably since its initial use as a prototyping method. With the advent of material diversity, 3D printing has become more widely accepted as a true alternative method to ...

Structural materials are used extensively in nature where mechanical function is required. These structures are composites consisting of soft and, in some cases, hard phases precisely distributed over ...

The global 3D printing market is entering a period of rapid expansion, with Precedence Research projecting its value to climb ...

AtomForm has introduced the Palette 300, a 3D printing system designed to enhance the creative possibilities of 3D printing. The technology builds on an architecture that features 12 intelligent ...
