Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

A team of UK scientists has shown how atomic-scale strengthening mechanisms observed in metals and alloys can be exploited to make 3D printed structures more robust. Mimicking the microcrystalline ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin optical film that improves the quality of the light used in LCD resin-based 3D printers. The advance helps ensure that tiny details are reproduced with ...

The 3D printing industry is valued at more than $17 billion and it is expected to more than double that by 2026. There are many useful applications for 3D builds, from toys to prosthetics. But buying ...

3D printing filament manufacture Fillamentum and creator of the awesome Timberfill wood filament, has launched two new additions to its range in the form of the Wood and Crystal Clear filaments. The ...
