View Article3D Printed Keys Make a Mockery of Security
I don’t really like covering the whole 3D printed guns fiasco. The whole thing seems to be begging for a knee-jerk reaction from lawmakers and is based more on fear than an actual threat. Low tech guns...
View ArticleAdditive Manufacturing Leveraged for Composite Construction
Everything can be broken down into its component parts. You are composed of cells, your car is made of a pile of metal and plastic, and even your pen is built from multiple components. When it comes to...
View ArticleA New Twist on Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing
The design constraints of additive manufacturing (AM) are mainly centered on build space, rather than complexity. People can (and do) design all kinds of crazy geometries to be produced via AM, but...
View ArticleNervous System Brings 4D Printing Out of the Lab
One of the limiting factors for parts and products produced through additive manufacturing (AM) is the build size of the 3D printer in use. Larger AM systems tend to be more expensive to both purchase...
