Closeup of an origami structure created through Digital Light Processing 3D printing. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D ...
In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures whose lightweight, expandability and strength could offer a wide range of ...
Complex items require a lot of 2D layers to be laid down during the 3D printing process; therefore, this procedure usually takes a long time. The technique typically results in significant material ...
The concept of 4D printing isn't a new idea, but processes that use new types of environmental stimuli keep on appearing. 4D printing is usually defined as 3D printing with materials that change shape ...
Learn how ancient Chinese characters are inspiring 3D-printed metamaterials, blending cultural history with modern ...
