3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...

Researchers have used a specialized form of additive manufacturing to create MEMS sensors that can be fabricated as custom, single-quantity units. Why custom-made sensors using additive manufacturing ...

Scientists develop a 3D lattice iontronic sensor to decode sophisticated tactile interactions by linearizing both electrical responses and mechanical behaviors The rapid development of humanoid robots ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a method to embed electrically-conductive particles, or sensors, in 3D printed filament polymers and disperse them evenly. The patent-pending wet-mixing ...

Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the development of flexible electronics, soft robotics and wearable devices.

- Mimicking the auditory principles of bats and dolphins, the technology enables sound-based recognition of human and object positions - A human-robot interaction technology operable in noisy ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Printing 3D objects has always felt like a daunting and expensive affair, but we are beginning to see 3D printers come down in price substantially. The problem is that it’s still difficult to create ...
