MIT’s shape-shifting smart devices could power smart furniture, morphing robots
MIT has created an innovative system that lets physical objects change shape easily. Dubbed ...
Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...
The two most common desktop-style 3D printers are FDM (for fused deposition modeling) and SLA (or stereo lithography). FDM printers lay down layer after layer of filament, resulting in objects that ...
Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...
3D printers are common today, and they can produce shape and color reasonably well. While shape and color are two of an object's three most noticeable visual features, the other is gloss. Current 3D ...
Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas ...
Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...
