A team of University of Texas at Austin researchers led by chemistry assistant professor Zachariah Page demonstrated a fast and precise way to 3D print using visible light. 3D printed objects made ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin optical film that improves the quality of the light used in LCD resin-based 3D ...

3D printing can already create sensors for NASA rovers, rocket engines, safer football helmets, dentures. Name it, and it seems like it can be 3D printed. But the technology is still pretty limited, ...

Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

One method of 3D printing involves selectively exposing liquid resin to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing that resin to harden into a solid. Now, scientists have developed a new resin that works with ...

Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take ...

Most 3D printers build up 3D objects layer by layer. This creates a “stair-step” effect along the edges. It also limits the printer’s ability to build flexible objects because bendable materials often ...

A team of scientists have developed a way to print on paper using light instead of ink. This new printing method could be used by large-scale printers such as newspapers and could both save money and ...

Black light (or ultraviolet-reactive) printing, while not new, is usually done on inkjet printers with its application often limited to posters or high-end brochures. High cost-per-copy is an issue ...
