James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Princeton engineers have developed an easily scalable 3D printing technique to manufacture soft plastics with programmed stretchiness and flexibility that are also recyclable and inexpensive—qualities ...

We’re impressed to see the continued flow of new and interesting ways to utilize 3D printing despite its years in the hacker limelight. At the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon [Billie Ruben] came to us from ...

Here’s some interesting work shared by [Ben Kromhout] and [Lukas Lambrichts] on making flexible 3D prints, but not by using flexible filament. After seeing a project where a sheet of plywood was ...

3D printing opens the door to the engineering of complex tissues, but its success depends on making the right materials available to developers. When printing any material, one of the challenges is to ...

This cube was printed with a new technique that allows embedding of droplets of different materials within the structure. These droplets can be used to make 3D printed structures flexible or to give ...

A robust research and development ecosystem, a large consumer base and the rising popularity of technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) have pushed electronics and design manufacturing to ...
