Closed-cell self-expanding foam (spray foam) is an amazing material that sees common use in construction. But one application ...

There are myriad of uses for 3D printers in industrial, research, and consumer applications. The catch in those applications is that the printed objects have to be smaller than the machine that makes ...

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space ...

June 21 (UPI) --A team of researchers from Texas and China have managed to create graphene foam using a 3D printer. The production method could eventually yield commercial quantities of the material.

The construction industry is highly unsustainable. In fact, 7% of global CO2 emissions result from cement production alone. In an effort to cut down construction-related carbon emissions, researchers ...

Flying drones with 3D printers attached to their body: it was only a matter of time until the two technologies met. Such a thing now exists, although we're not quite sure it's earned its printing ...

The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers improved ...

Researchers have developed 3D-printed foam claimed to be more durable and more recyclable than polymer foam in everyday products. The 3D-printing process allowed the researchers to create complex ...

The swiftlet may not look much different than other little birds, but it has one unique ability – it builds its nest out of its own saliva. Inspired by the swiftlet, scientists at Imperial College ...
