Purdue University researchers have developed a method to embed electrically-conductive particles, or sensors, in 3D printed filament polymers and disperse them evenly. The patent-pending wet-mixing ...

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...

Makers, hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts searching for a way to keep their printer filament in top condition might be interested in a new 3D printer filament dryer that has launched via ...

Pressure sensors are important tools for accurate sensing of applied forces. However, they can mostly sense forces along only a single direction. In a new study, scientists take things to the next ...

If you’re concerned about the toxicity levels emitted by your 3D printer, a new project offers a solution to help protect your home or business from harmful pollutants. While it’s exciting to watch ...

Researchers in Brazil and the UK found a way to turn recycled coffee pods into 3D-printed conductive materials that can be used to create caffeine detectors. With that, they demonstrated one of the ...
