In May-June 2022, IPI conducted an online survey assessing how collecting institutions are using 3D printing and interacting with 3D printed objects and materials. The survey covered three major areas ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Recyclable plastic objects can be 3D-printed using light 1. 3D printing can quickly make objects with complex shapes. But recycling those products into ones that are equally tough is a challenge. Bo ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

This month, IPI is completing the first year of a three-year research project aimed at building a foundational understanding of how museums are creating, collecting, and consuming 3D printed objects.

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature. The ...

The future of space colonization and industrialization can now be visualized. Planetary Resources, in collaboration with our partner 3D Systems, have developed the first ever direct metal print from ...

3D printers have, surprisingly, been in existence since the eightie recently that they’ve become affordable. And, while it’s not quite the same as having a replicator in your home, there’s a definite ...

CC0 Usage Conditions ApplyClick for more information. The Cooper Hewitt Design Museum needed to display an object that was very fragile. To make a mount while ...

Beyond having the best graphics in the life simulation genre, InZOI also has a handful of modern features that allow players to get truly creative when it comes to customization. For example, players ...
