Competition heats up over volumetric printing patents
A schematic of the xolo xube's process at work Volumetric printing , as this network reported , has arrived in the form of the xolo xube, but this revolutionary technology already faces contenders for volumetric printing patents. . A United States patent filed by Mr....
Southern Virginia to Open $25.5M Manufacturing Center with 3D Printing
Ground was just broken for a new facility in Southern Virginia. The Center for Manufacturing Advancement (CMA) will be a 51,250-square-foot site meant to allow manufacturing companies to grow and bring business to the region. . Funded by the state of Virginia and the...
A 10-second COVID-19 antibody test with 3D-printed high-performance sensors
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC, have developed one of the fastest known COVID-19 antibody tests. The test results are available in 10 to 15 seconds and detect the presence of two of the antibodies...
New 3D-Printed Microlenses With Adjustable Refractive Indices – Poised to Improve Imaging, Computing and Communications
Illinois researchers developed a spherical lens that allows light coming into the lens from any direction to be focused into a very small spot on the surface of the lens exactly opposite the input direction. This is the first time such a lens has been made for visible...
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...
3D Coral Reef Sculpture, Collaboration of Marine Science, Art
At first glance, the fields of art and science could not be any more different, any more unrelated, but what happens when the worlds of artistry and analysis collide? The answer: collaborative innovation. . One such example is the work between the University of...
