Scientists 3D print microscopic Star Trek spaceship that moves on its own

Scientists replicated a microscopic version of Star Trek's USS Voyager. (CNN)A team of physicists at a university in the Netherlands have 3D-printed a microscopic version of the USS Voyager, an Intrepid-class starship from Star Trek. The miniature Voyager, which...

Concre3DLab releases VoxelPrint Grasshopper plug-in for concrete 3D printing

Concre3DLab, a research institute embedded within the Department of Structural Engineering ( Ghent University ) just released VoxelPrint, a new Grasshopper plug-in for voxel-based numerical simulation of concrete printing. The software component can voxelize any...

3D Printing Process Combines Plastic and Metal

Researchers at Waseda University in Japan have developed a metal-plastic hybrid 3D printing technique that fabricates plastic objects with an adhesive metal coating on defined areas.  . People can currently use 3D printers to create objects out of either plastic or...

3D-printing “error” used to produce high-tech textiles

DefeXtiles can be 3D-printed out of various polymers, depending on the desired characteristics When a 3D printer leaves gaps in the plastic that it deposits, it's usually thought of as an unwanted flaw. Now, however, the process has been harnessed to quickly and...
