Most 3D-printed homes are currently arranged on one floor, which can obviously be a little limiting. However, an upcoming project in the Netherlands shows that this might not be the case for long as it will build new houses that will include up to thre… Continue reading Boulder-like 3D-printed homes will feature up to three floors
In a recent video, [Joel] of 3D Printing Nerd interviews a researcher at University of California, Berkeley about their work with glass 3D printing technology. A resin is impregnated with …read more Continue reading UC Berkeley Prints Glass Nanoparticles
Battery news typically covers the latest, greatest laboratory or industry breakthroughs to push modern devices further and faster. Could you build your own flow battery stationary storage for home-built solar …read more Continue reading Open Source Residential Energy Storage
An architectural revolution is quietly taking place in the American suburbs. In Texas, a collection of high-tech robotic builders have been busily constructing the largest 3D-printed neighborhood in the world and it’s now nearing completion.Continue Re… Continue reading World’s largest 3D-printed neighborhood nears completion in USA
An upcoming community center in Tanzania will be defined by its cutting-edge 3D-printed design. However, rather than being built from layered concrete as you’d usually expect with 3D-printed projects, its walls will be created using locally sourced soi… Continue reading Revolutionary community center will be 3D printed using earth
Researchers demonstrate sustainable 3D printing by using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) solutions (PNIPAM), which speedily and reliably turn solid by undergoing a rapid phase change when in a salt solution. This property has …read more Continue reading Liquid (Reversibly) Solidifies at Room Temperature, Gets Used for 3D Prints
Scientists in the UK have developed a new method for removing toxic “forever chemicals” from wastewater. Specially treated, 3D-printed ceramic lattices can remove up to 75% of the chemicals from polluted water in three hours – and the structures get be… Continue reading Reusable ‘waffle stacks’ pull toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water
Admittedly it’s a bit of a niche application, but if you need lots of flat 3D printed objects, one way to go about it is to print them in a …read more Continue reading Need Many Thin Parts? Try Multi-material Stack Printing
There’s no reason why a visually impaired person can’t enjoy putting together a jigsaw puzzle. It just needs to look a little different. Or, in this case, feel different. 16-year-old …read more Continue reading A Puzzle for the Visually Impaired, or Blindfolded
3D printing metal has been somewhat of a holy grail for the last decade in the hobby 3DP scene. We’ve seen a number of solutions, including using expensive filaments that …read more Continue reading CeraMetal Lets You Print Metal, Cheaply and Easily
