When it comes to innovation, engineers have long proved to be brilliant copycats, drawing inspiration directly from nature.

Winners in 10 automotive plastics application categories and a grand prize winner were chosen from 33 finalists.

By the mid-2010s, 3D-printing was in the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” phase, and prosthetics was no exception. Those LEGO-style hands getting media attention didn’t have the strength needed for a ...

An English fisherman who grew indignant at the number of nylon fishing nets he saw abandoned on the wharfs of Cornwall every year has moored his boat and invented new recycling technology to turn the ...

PLATTEVILLE, Wis. (WKOW) — Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville have found an innovative way to turn spoiled milk into sustainable plastic for 3D printing. This breakthrough could ...

When I poured 3D printer resin into silicone molds, I didn’t expect what happened next. The reaction, texture, and final results completely surprised me. In this video, I test how resin behaves in ...

The SALTGATOR is not a 3D printer, but it’s something 3D printer operators might consider. What is it, then? It’s a simple desktop injection molding system for soft gel materials. 3D printer operators ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a fast 3D printing process that fuses rubber-like and rigid plastics in one build. The researchers suggest the technology could lead to ...

On Tuesday, classic computer collector Joe Strosnider announced the availability of a new 3D-printer filament that replicates the iconic “Platinum” color scheme used in classic Macintosh computers ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...
