Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed ...

But in 3D, these curvy, almost organic forms have no corners at all. Once the researchers identified the new shapes, they began to see them all over the place—in nature, art and architecture.

Scientists used 3D-printed insect models to study how disguises help harmless species fool predators and survive in the wild.

In addition to making gadgets and game pieces, 3D printing is being used in health care to print prosthetics, dental implants ...

Nature's 3D printer: bristle worms form bristles piece by piece. University of Vienna. Journal Nature Communications DOI 10.1038/s41467-024-48044-3. Keywords ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using ...

The researchers present a method to help the printers live up to their names and deliver a "true" 3D form of printing. In a new paper in Nature, they describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing ...

Inspiration From Nature. Because additive manufacturing builds layer by layer, using only the material and energy required to make a particular component, it’s a far more efficient building process ...

Scientists have found a way to direct the growth of hydrogel to mimic plant or animal tissue structure and shapes, an advance that could be utilised in soft robotics. The findings, published in ...
