A lot of it comes down to special materials called piezoelectrics. Now, imagine being able to 3D print these materials into ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, has rapidly advanced to enable the production of intricate product geometries across industries from aerospace to ...

(Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, that sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The ...

On May 25, Fortify (Boston, Mass., U.S.) a 3D printing startup, and Rogers Corp. (Chandler, Ariz., U.S.) an engineered materials company for advanced connectivity and power electronics, announced a ...

MIT's MultiFab 3D printer can print 10 different materials at once, has an open-platform design, and can be built for under $7,000. Sound impossible? It's not. Can you buy that printer now? Not yet.
