While 3D printing has mostly involved plastic so far, future materials, including one harder than steel, could make a huge ...

The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents ...

Ordinarily, the 3D printing of multi-colored, multi-textured objects is a relatively complex and inefficient process. That could soon change, however, thanks to a clever new technique in which a ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a replacement part, they may have to order one from a distributor hundreds of ...
