MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

MIT's MultiFab 3D printer can print 10 different materials at once, has an open-platform design, and can be built for under $7,000. Sound impossible? It's not. Can you buy that printer now? Not yet.

Interlocking glass bricks show structural strength on par with concrete equivalents. MIT engineers are developing a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. Using a ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Johns Hopkins University have developed a handheld tool ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas ...

The use of 3D printing has been praised as an alternative to traditional construction. It promises to deliver faster construction times, creative design, and fewer construction errors, all while ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

When we think of zippers, we think of a 2D structure that allows users to fasten two parts of a garment. Pulling a slider up and down between two rows of teeth that face each other allows the zipper ...

Three-dimensional printing was supposed to be the next big thing, but a combination of factors have kept it from becoming a mainstream technology. One of the ongoing issues is that 3D printing is slow ...
