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 ...

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 ...

LIVERMORE, Calif., April 27 (UPI) --According to material scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 3D-printed foam is more durable and functional than cellular materials. Traditional ...

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 ...

Little birds called swiftlets build their cup-shaped nests using their own saliva. Inspired by their nest building, researchers have developed an aerial robot with 3D printing capabilities. "Swiftlets ...
