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 ...

We have all spent a wasted day shopping, or worse, regretting our purchases. You often can’t find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly or a lamp that matches the fuchsia stripes on your wall. Wouldn’t ...

Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), in collaboration with Georgia Institute of Technology, have recently developed a new method to 3D print shape-shifting ...

The 10 best STL files of 2025, featuring practical prints, clever designs, and standout 3D printing projects makers loved ...

Ever 3D-printed an object and then changed your mind about the design? Maybe the colour was wrong, or it was too small for the intended purpose. Usually, you would be stuck with that poor design ...

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, ...
