Carbon Doubles Down on Textures for 3D Printing with New Software Technique
For the past few years, I’ve been highly optimistic about the potential of textures in additive manufacturing (AM). I believe that by enhancing function and perceived value, textures could hasten…
Digital Textures Can Hasten the Adoption of 3D Printed Products
Recently, I’ve been conducting more research via touch. I slide my fingertips over a new MYKITA Studio pair of sunglasses. The sensation is like Arkema’s Rilsan material with an AMT…
A Warning: Proprietary Textures and Geometry for 3D Printing
3D printing is a number of technologies that collectively build objects layer by layer. Famously this gives us more design freedom and lets us make more varied and unique shapes…
3D Printed Snakeskin Shows Potential for Industrial Use in Mechanical Traction
In ‘Exploring Convergence of Snake-Skin-Inspired Texture Designs and Additive Manufacturing for Mechanical Traction,’ US researchers outline their findings in a study where they made an interesting choice for experimenting with…
