A team of University of Texas at Austin researchers led by chemistry assistant professor Zachariah Page demonstrated a fast and precise way to 3D print using visible light. 3D printed objects made ...

Currently, most 3D printers work by either depositing or melting building material in successive layers. Unfortunately, this results in the finished objects looking kind of chunky, as the ridges ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Goertek Optics Technology Co. ("Goeroptics"), a subsidiary of Goertek, has unveiled its latest full-color augmented reality (AR) etching waveguide module, ...

This image shows a printed micropillar forest submerged in the photopolymer resist prior to development. The forest contains 900 micropillars over a 7 mm × 7 mm area and was printed in less than 90 ...

Scientists have developed a novel 3D printer that uses patterns of visible and ultraviolet light to dictate which of two monomers are polymerized to form a solid material. Different patterns of light ...

3D printing can already create sensors for NASA rovers, rocket engines, safer football helmets, dentures. Name it, and it seems like it can be 3D printed. But the technology is still pretty limited, ...

We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...

Rather than building up plastic filaments layer by layer, a new approach to 3D printing lifts complex shapes from a vat of liquid at up to 100 times faster than conventional 3D printing processes.

A study on new 3D printing technology, published in Science, transforms gooey liquids into complex solid objects using light and in only a matter of minutes. The technology was nicknamed "replicator" ...

Most 3D printers build up 3D objects layer by layer. This creates a “stair-step” effect along the edges. It also limits the printer’s ability to build flexible objects because bendable materials often ...
