High costs of powdered metals and the need for 3D printing/additive manufacturing equipment that can accommodate these materials are challenges that are being met by Rochester Institute of Technology ...

Researchers have come up with a 3D printing method using liquid metal that's claimed to produce structures at least 10 times faster than existing metal additive manufacturing processes, though it does ...

MIT spin-off Rapid Liquid Print has raised $7 million in funding for its novel liquid-based 3D printing technology. Boston-based Rapid Liquid Print was founded as an additive manufacturing startup in ...

The United States Navy's USS Essex has been equipped with a brand-new ElemX printer made by Xerox. The printer weighs 4,630 pounds (2,100 kilograms) and was lifted via crane onto the vessel while in ...

A group of researchers out of North Carolina State University used an alloy of two metals, gallium and indium, to 3D-print liquid metal structures. NCSU researchers have developed three techniques for ...

Berkeley Labs has 3D-printed an all-liquid device that, with the click of a button, can be repeatedly reconfigured on demand to serve a wide range of applications – from making battery materials to ...

There's a new sort of 3D printer in town, and it goes by the name CAL. This printer was created by a team at UC Berkeley, and its potential is vast. The most popular method for consumer-level 3D ...

If you think at all about liquid crystals, you probably think of display technology. However, researchers have worked out a way to use an ink-jet-like process to 3D print iridescent colors using a ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley NationalLaboratory (LBNL) have found a way to "print" narrow tubes ofwater within liquid-state silicone oil. Because of a special nanoscalecoating, the water ...

Imagine a future in which you could 3D-print an entire robot or stretchy, electronic medical device with the press of a button—no tedious hours spent assembling parts by hand. That possibility may be ...
