MIT: Automated System Designs and 3D Prints Optimized Actuators and Displays to Spec
Actuators are complex devices that mechanically control robotic systems in response to electrical signals received. Depending on the specific application they’re used for, today’s robotic actuators have to be optimized…
Fraunhofer IGD’s Cuttlefish Helped Bring Life to 3D Printed Faces in LAIKA’s Latest Film
Just a few short days ago, the latest stop-motion animation film from Oregon-based LAIKA Studio, Missing Link, opened in US theaters, with the theatrical release in Germany coming next month….
Portugal: Researchers Study Ways to Improve Multi-Material SLA/DLP 3D Printing Processes
‘Multi-material 3D printing using stereolithography: an optimization approach,’ authored by Daniel Daniel Bandeira, Marta Pascoal, Artur Mateus, and Miguel Reis Silva, explores further uses of different composites in SLA (featuring…
Researchers Develop Multimaterial Voxel-3D Printing Method For More Direct Data to Object Translation
Modern approaches to physical visualization and data representations still mostly use a 2D display of 3D data sets on planar computer screens, which doesn’t always present the best results. A…
Photoswitch Molecules Bring 3D Structured Light to Life
I never get tired of 3D movies; from Sing to Planet of the Apes, I still gasp when objects fly out at me and enjoy the sensation of watching a…
MIT CSAIL Researchers Develop Design System for 3D Printing Topology Optimization
Whether they’re inspired by a gold beetle to 3D print a multi-material electronic device, creating programmable soft 3D printing materials for robots and drones, or making it possible to watch…
DCL Researchers’ New 3D Printing Software Used to Design Voxel Chair 3D Printed with a Continuous Line of Material
Whenever we hear about a new project from researchers and students at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, we know it’s going to be something unique and interesting, like a…
Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printer: HP Focused Development on Economics, Voxel Level, Collaboration
Just outside of Barcelona, in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain, HP houses some incredible large-format printing equipment, with unbelievably huge digital web presses — and, deeper within their labs, some…
Monolith — A Photoshop On Steroids for 3D Designers and Print Technicians
If you’re not familiar with the concept of a voxel, it’s basically a three-dimensional version of the pixel from the digital imaging world. The word itself is meant to describe what…
3D Prints Smaller Than an Ant’s Forehead are Printed and Then Inevitably Lost
“We live in an era where the impossible has finally come to pass. In our own little way we have become demi-gods of creation.” – Jonty Hurwitz We’ve seen some…
Voxelizer Software Update: Allows for Modeling With 3D Pixels & Aims to Make Medical Models Affordable
A lot of people look at the 3D printing space as one that is quite miraculous. When they see objects being printed on these futuristic machines, they don’t stop to…
