UB Students Use 3D Printers To Donate 3,000 PPE Units

While many college students have seen educational experiences dwindle during the pandemic, some students at UB saw a prime opportunity. In February, UB formed its 3D Printing Group, a collaboration between dental students, biomedical engineers, chemical engineers, and...

New combined process for 3D printing integrates melted materials directly

Since the Japanese scientist Hideo Kodama published the pioneering papers on “rapid prototyping” back in 1980, 3D printing has become commonplace and has found its way into many areas of life.  . Formula 1 teams, for one thing, use this technology to fabricate parts...

Lab study of droplet dynamics advances 3D printing

A comparison between the experimentally observed ejected droplet shape at break-up (a) and the simulated droplet shape (b) at various operating conditions approaching the experimental conditions. The simulated droplet shape significantly differs from experiments,...

3D Printer Enables Variable Gloss

New system enables realistic variations in glossiness across a 3D-printed surface. The advance could aid fine art reproduction and the design of prosthetics. Shape, color, and gloss. Those are an object's three most salient visual features.  . Currently, 3D printers...
