Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

Researchers developed a fully recyclable, lignin-based 3D printing ink that solidifies without heat, stays stable up to 200 C ...

Led by Assoc. Prof. Ying Diao and graduate student Sanghyun Jeon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign set out to replicate that effect in a photosensitive 3D-printing ink. The ...

Ink stamps can be fun to make and use, and 3D printers are uniquely positioned to create quality stamps of all kinds with just a little care. As with most things, the devil is in the details and the ...

Recycled wood can be turned into an ink for 3D printing, which could offer a more sustainable way to manufacture furniture or even build houses. “Wood has been used for building and structural ...

A new 3D-printing ink, inspired by the color-shifting capabilities of chameleons, has been developed by scientists, offering the ability to change colors within a single print job. This innovative ink ...

Nature has an extraordinary knack for producing composite materials that are simultaneously light and strong, porous and rigid – like mollusk shells or bone. But producing such materials in a lab or ...
