[Teaching Tech] got an interesting e-mail from [Johan] showing pictures of 3D prints with a dye-sublimated color image on the surface. Normally, we think of dye sublimation, we think of pressing color ...

The PolyDye system installed on an Elegoo Neptune 2 printer. (Credit: Teaching Tech, YouTube) Being able to 3D print FDM objects in more than one color is a feature that is rapidly rising in ...

D-printed bike saddles in general are known to be comfier than their regular counterparts, but they should become even more ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Microalgae such as the diatom Odontella aurita and the green alga Tetraselmis striata are especially suitable as 'biofactories' for the production of sustainable materials for 3D laser printing due to ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...

Coffee can do a lot of things: Wake you up, warm you up and lessen that existential dread. According to a new study, it could also help reduce the waste from 3D printing. That’s the vision behind a ...

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...

The research has been published in Advanced Materials ("Printing Green: Microalgae-Based Materials for 3D Printing with Light"). A new ink system, based on the microalgae Odontella aurita and ...
