MY easy way to colour 3D objects that actually works.

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

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 MIT researchers Jiani Zeng and Honghao Deng came up with Illusory Material, they took inspiration from two seemingly opposite muses: the natural world and the digital world. In both mediums they ...

Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce surface roughness or improve clarity. The technique is often used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques.

What is the optimal approach for 3D object detection? How and why the datasets and metrics generated by academia may not be the best tools for developing real-world applications such as 3DOD. 3D ...

In this article, we'll explore how this innovative method, which employs multiple acoustic holograms, works and examine its potential applications and limitations. What are Acoustic Holograms, and How ...

Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model ...

Could a 3D-printed lamp become a design classic? We look at some recent examples of how this technology can produce timeless objects, not just throwaway products. With so many 3D-printed products now ...
