Terahertz radiation can be applied for a broad range of applications and is currently used for airport security checks and also for the analysis of materials in the laboratory. This radiation’s wavelength is in the millimeter range, indicating that it is considerably larger than the wavelength of visible light. It also needs specialized methods to manipulate the beams to get them into the correct shape.
Light is used to cure an ever-increasing number of coatings, such as printing inks, varnishes, and even tooth fillings.
3D printing could be used to fabricate advanced materials containing molecules that change states in response to light.
Hydrogels, hydrophilic networks of polymeric chains equipped to retain a large quantity of water, have been extensively used in a range of applications. Latest advances in extremely stretchable hydrogels have extended their applications into the fields of transparent touch panels, soft robotics, and other applications necessitating large deformation.
For the first time, a research team from Washington State University has used a one-step, three-dimensional (3D) printing process to print structures composed of two entirely different materials. This is similar to the transition from black and white to color printing.
NASA’s upcoming spacecraft, robots that can construct homes, and marathoners’ running shoes are all composed of 3D printed parts.
A customized, economical 3D printer was used by scientists at the University of Minnesota in an innovative new study to print electronics on a real hand for the first time. The technology could be employed by soldiers during a war to print temporary sensors on their bodies to detect biological or chemical agents or solar cells to charge vital electronics.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were a home appliance capable of turning powdered ingredients into food at the push of a button? It could be a reality in the future - a new study focused on using 3D printing to produce customized food.
Using an economical 3D printer, a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University created flat plastic items that folded themselves into predetermined shapes, such as a boat, rose, or even a bunny when heated.
Adaptive3D Technologies introduced the world's highest-strain 3D-printable photopolymer today at RAPID + TCT 2018. ToughRubber 30.450 is a material that strains to 450%, 115% higher than the nearest competitor.
