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 ...

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, ...

Prof. Robert Przekop's team from the Center for Advanced Technologies at AMU has created an invention allowing chemical substances to be introduced into objects printed on 3D printers. The solution ...

Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions have embraced 3D printing as a tool for display, storage, preservation and conservation, and more. However, there is not much known about the safety ...

We have all spent a wasted day shopping, or worse, regretting our purchases. You often can’t find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly or a lamp that matches the fuchsia stripes on your wall. Wouldn’t ...

Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce surface roughness or improve clarity. The technique is often used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques.
