Harvard engineers have demonstrated a new 3D printing technique that allows the arrangement of short fibers in the printed material to be finely tuned. The spinning printer head gives the technique ...

Researchers from Harvard have developed a way to make 3D printed objects more durable, but the technique works with the same plastics already used in consumer machines. It turns out making a stronger ...

(Nanowerk News) A novel 3D printing method, called “rotational 3D printing”, yields unprecedented control of the arrangement of short fibers embedded in polymer matrices. Researchers used additive ...

Natural composites exhibit exceptional mechanical performance that often arises from complex fiber arrangements within continuous matrices. Inspired by these natural systems, we developed a rotational ...

That's why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the things. Named MechSense, the system was developed at MIT by a team led by mechanical engineering graduate ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA - MONDAY, JAN.15, 2018 - Nature has produced exquisite composite materials--wood, bone, teeth, and shells, for example--that combine light weight and density with desirable mechanical ...
