Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

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 new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

University of Missouri researchers have developed a new laser-based method to create complex devices with multiple materials - including plastics, metals and semiconductors - all with a single machine ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional printing was born in the 1980s, and, since then, the additive approach to manufacturing that it enables has gradually unseated traditional, subtractive concepts of industrial ...

AtomForm has unveiled its latest 3D printer, the Palette 300. This 3D printer features 12 nozzles, allowing it to combine up to 36 colors and 12 materials in a single print. It also cuts waste by up ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...
