Marsha 3D Printed Cylinders The Future of Living on Mars
3D PRINTING
In-Situ Resource Utilization
Martian exploration and settlement at any meaningful scale will depend on materials found on Mars. This is enabled by a technology known as in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). ISRU circumvents the limits...
Oligomers, the Foundation of Many 3D Printing Materials
Plastic 3D printing relies on light-sensitive materials that are cured or hardened when exposed to light. Whether that’s FDM, SLA, DLP, or other, newer technologies, these materials are the basis of the final objects...
3D Printing Helps Prove Sensor Marketability in Low Volume
Fish farming requires farmers to closely monitor water conditions to control rearing operations and yield an ideal harvesting rate. Sensors are increasingly being used to help farmers automatically detect factors such as water acidity...
3D light painting robot creates stunning imagery
Some will argue that this could easily be done in CGI and they're right. But, there's an artistic and genuine feeling that comes with doing it in the real world. It's an impressive bit...
