Lockheed Martin Develops 3D Printing
Today, 3-D printing generates parts used in ships, planes, vehicles, and spacecraft, but it also requires a lot of babysitting. High-value and intricate parts...
Electron microscopy to build quantum materials atom by atom
A novel technique that nudges single atoms to switch places within an atomically thin material could bring scientists another step closer to realizing theoretical...
New method measures 3-D polymer processing precisely
Recipes for three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, of parts have required as much guesswork as science. Until now.
Resins and other materials that react...
3D Printing Glass-Ceramics at the Nanoscale
Fabrication of a true-3D inorganic ceramic with resolution down to nanoscale using sol-gel resist precursor is demonstrated. The method has an unrestricted free-form capability,...
3-D printed microscope for medical diagnostics
Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope that is small and robust enough to use in the field...
AWACS maintainers at leading edge of 3-D printing
Imagine you’re in aircraft maintenance and a mission is scheduled to fly in the next 24 hours. You need a part that hasn’t been...
3D Universe Introduces Skin Tone Filaments for 3D Printed Prosthetics
As the e-NABLE Community has grown and spread throughout the world, we have not only gotten to see the impact that low cost, 3D...
A Revolutionary Change in Vehicle Panel Production featuring Sabic’s UDMAX™ Thermoplastic Composite Tape
SABIC announced at JEC World 2019 a new, cutting-edge technology for producing lightweight, cost-effective and recyclable vehicle panels using its UDMAX™ tape, a unidirectional,...
kinetiX—designing auxetic-inspired deformable material structures
This paper describes a group of auxetic-inspired material structures that can transform into various shapes upon compression. We developed four cellular-based material structure units...
Shrinking the carbon footprint of a chemical in everyday objects
A new method for synthesizing the epoxides found in plastics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals could be powered by electricity.
The biggest source of global energy consumption...
