Additive functionalisation is multifaceted and ranges from printing local stiffening ribs to integrating assembly and adhesive aids to introducing electrical conductors into the component. The basic ...

This article is aimed at large scale 3D printing. For medium and desktop size printing, both thermoplastic materials and thermoset materials are used. While for large format additive manufacturing ...

Gutenberg’s printing press revolutionized the way the written word was replicated, bringing two-dimensional printing into the world and so vastly increasing accessibility of information. From that ...

The software that supports additive manufacturing is a vital part of the 3D printing process—arguably as important as the 3D printer itself. Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows the printing of whole objects while controlling the temperature of the chemical reaction to stabilize the process. Academics in the ...

Imagine printing a nuclear reactor core — or nuclear fuel pellets — in 3D. It may sound far-fetched that 3D printing could create materials robust enough to withstand the extreme environment of a ...
