As a society we are constantly revolutionizing the materials we use. We have created 3D printers that print out digital shapes for us and now we have created printers that produce materials capable of ...

We have all heard of 3D printing, but have you heard of 4D printing? Probably not. 4D printing takes the same technologies of 3D printing, but with a slight change, objects printed in the fourth ...

Whilst 3D printing continues to grow in popularity, some scientists are already looking at the next step – how to make their objects transform from one shape to another using 4D printing. Essentially, ...

4D printing, or printing using adaptive materials, is on the cutting edge of 3D printing technology, and there may be a way ...

Gutenberg’s printing press revolutionized the way the written word was replicated, bringing two-dimensional printing into the world and so vastly increasing accessibility of information. From that ...

These tiny objects made with 3D printers can dramatically expand when exposed to heat. Scientists have created a pair of compact, unfurling structures that could pave the way for innovations in ...

Ceramics have a high melting point which makes it difficult to be produced by conventional lasers. Additionally, ceramic production by existing 3D-printing methods make it challenging to deform and ...
