Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument spent five years observing the sky from Arizona. Now, researchers have a trove of ...

For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

Since the very first foldable smartphones arrived, one flaw has stubbornly persisted - the crease. The visible groove that forms along the fold line has been the single biggest aesthetic and ...

3D printing promises to change how we build aerospace engines and gas turbines. But there is a catch: the high-performance superalloys required for these extreme environments are prone to tearing ...

A new method lets scientists 3D-print concrete underwater, potentially transforming how bridges, ports, and pipelines are repaired.

3D printing still gets treated like a hobby built around dragons, desk toys, and tiny plastic jokes, but a lot of the best designs coming out right now are much more grounded than that. People are ...

Under the hood, multiphysics software based on the finite-element (FE) method mathematically models complex engineering and scientific problems in inductive heating, heat transfer, and ...

Believe me, I know the pain of troubleshooting 3D prints to the point where I just feel like throwing my printer in the garbage and buying a new one. Tracing print issues back to specific printer ...
