Food printing has been around for a while, but some experiments have taken it to strange new places. Scientists and chefs ...

Researchers at Empa are developing artificial muscles that could one day move like real ones. Using advanced 3D printing, ...

Artificial muscles can replace servomotors, for example, or be used in medicine. However, production is not easy.

An interesting research project out of MIT shows that it’s possible to embed machine-readable labels into 3D printed objects using nothing more than an FDM printer and filament that is ...

Researchers created 'growth printing,' which mimics tree trunks' outward expansion to print polymer parts quickly and efficiently without the molds and expensive equipment typically associated with 3D ...

It's difficult to build devices that replicate the fluid, precise motion of humans, but that might change if we could pull a ...

Empa researchers are working on producing artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a ...

The first metal thingamajig ever 3D printed in space has landed on Earth, where European Space Agency (ESA) scientists are now studying it. In a press release, the ESA announced that the object ...

Empa researchers 3D print artificial muscles. The structures could have applications in medicine, robotics, and more.

Current 3D printers use polymers, plastic filaments, powders or resin to build printed objects that harden as ... important for maintaining the normal function of the tissue," Dai says.
