here we create spider-web mimics composed of elastomeric filaments. Specifically, computational modelling and microscale 3D printing are combined to investigate the mechanical response of ...

The 3D printing community is terrific ... so it looks like a spider web! As far as weird, twisted models go, Wekster's Pumpkin Queen is likely one of the best in this collection.

Using a 3D printer, researchers have created spider-web analogues out of elastic polymer threads and tweaked their architectures to maximize the webs' strength. Markus Buehler at the Massachusetts ...

The house of the future could be built from plastic and look like a spider's web, if one group of conceptual ... created this concept for the first 3D printed house, and say the first prototype ...

Not only can this non-living spider creep its way into buildings, but some models of it can also jump ... to the selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D-printing process, which allows the researchers ...

Purdue University innovators are taking cues from nature to develop 3D photodetectors for biomedical imaging. The Purdue researchers used some architectural features from spider webs to develop ...

The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomás Saraceno to take two-dimensional laser scans of a spider web, which were stitched together and converted into a mathematical model that could ...

He thinks of spiders as "autonomous 3D printers," constructing their webs without any supportive scaffolding, unlike manmade 3D printing processes. "So we have a material that is created or spun ...

I think it's fair to say, though, that none have ever looked quite as extraordinarily beautiful as Olaf Diegel's 3D-printed Scarab ... playing a blue ODD Spider model The Polyamide 2200 or Alumide ...
