If you’ve got a mechatronic project in mind, a 3D printer can be a big help. Gears, levers, adapters, enclosures — if you can dream it up, a 3D printer can probably churn out a useful p… ...

The device is made up of a range of 12 3D-printed plastic blocks, or “cells”. Each cell contains a different labyrinth pattern that is designed to modulate the phase of an acoustic wave. They work at ...

To do this, the team plans to explore multi-material printing which would allow different materials to be printed, in turn creating what the team has coined as engineered metamaterials. In addition, ...

How can additive manufacturing and metamaterials improve healthcare for aging populations? In a review published in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers examine how 3D ...

Engineers at Tufts University have developed 3D printed metamaterials with microwave or optical properties that are claimed to go beyond what is possible using conventional materials. 3D-printed ...

When 3D printing was first introduced in 1985, it marked a major turning point for the manufacturing industry. In addition to ...

A team of engineers has developed a series of 3D printed metamaterials with unique microwave or optical properties that go beyond what is possible using conventional optical or electronic materials.

New developments in 3D printing technology are making it possible to create many more shapes and patterns of metamaterials, and at ever smaller scales. In the study, researchers at the Nano Lab at ...
