If you haven't yet bought a Christmas tree yet ... This all means that a 3D printing method that creates objects without additional support also has to create structures that are self-supporting ...

robotically 3D-printed formwork with fast-hardening concrete. As the first built example using this fabrication process, Future Tree “shows [how] non-standard concrete structures can be ...

A new way of 3D ... the printing method may have other applications. For example, it might be tweaked to print “metamaterials,” synthetic materials with layered or patterned structures with ...

Scientists have developed a new method to 3D ... structures and the soft scaffolding printed to support the cells can collapse on itself. As a result, it remains a challenge to print high ...

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, Washington State University engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types ... Likewise, structures in space could have a ...

When 3D printing a particularly complex object, you often need to incorporate additional support structures into its design, given how the layer by layer additive process works. And with 3D ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing ... place without needing external support or fasteners.

When this step is done, the object is then washed in a solvent bath and heated to form a fully fused and strong structure. The university says that this breakthrough will allow 3D printing of ...

Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building's lifetime and reassembled into a new structure ... from 3D-printed, recycled glass. Using a custom 3D glass printing ...
