Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

Researchers have developed a procedure that removes printed ink on plastic films used in flexible packaging getting a product free from ink and suitable for recycling. Researchers at the University of ...

The steel skeletons in our reinforced concrete buildings share a fatal flaw: corrosion. As water seeps in through microcracks in the concrete, the hidden metal swells, gradually eating bridges and ...

Single-use plastics are a persistent source of environmental pollution, and the need to house a growing global population ...

Towards the end of 2017 we highlighted a research concept that turned plastic waste into street furniture. Print Your City has now gone from early prototypes to city scale project with the launch of a ...

The design studio Nervous System has created a novel process that allows a 3-D printed dress to move and sway like real fabric. The bespoke software behind it, called Kinematics, combines origami ...

Machined tooling contributes to the majority of production costs for many small-run jobs. 3D printing can reduce the cost of plastic cores, molds, and tooling, but there are several considerations to ...

These are the 3D printers we recommend for a variety of budgets, whether you’re after professional results or just want to ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have created a system to put realistic-looking plastic hair on 3D printed objects. While this doesn’t help the follicularly challenged humans among us it does allow you ...
