Ordinarily, if you want to make a 3D-printed liquid-filled object, you have to inject the liquid after the object has been printed. A new process, however, allows such items to be printed all in one ...

Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

MIT spin-off Rapid Liquid Print has raised $7 million in funding for its novel liquid-based 3D printing technology. Boston-based Rapid Liquid Print was founded as an additive manufacturing startup in ...

Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto. Let's ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. We’ve all seen what modern 3D printing technology is capable of, but it still has some serious limitations. Many times, 3D printed ...

Scientists have discovered something that seems almost impossible: under the right conditions, ordinary liquids can snap apart like solid objects. In experiments, researchers found that when certain ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Countless commercial and industrial products are routinely produced by manufacturing processes where solid parts, for instance thermoplastics, are molded through injecting molten ...

A micro-scale gripper uses a liquid-permeable surface to handle fragile components like chips and thin films without applying mechanical force or contact. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Micromanipulation may ...

A new company called Carbon3D has unveiled a 3D-printing process that is between 25 and 100 times faster than the ones currently on the market. The company calls its technology Continuous Liquid ...

While paper isn’t exactly a smart material, it someday could be if it is covered in a new type of liquid metal. This liquid alloy has the potential to turn paper and other materials into gadgets that ...
