A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Researchers created a hybrid 3D printing system with a resin that cures under blue light and liquefies under UV, enabling corrections, higher resolution and part recycling. (Nanowerk News) Additive ...

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

(Nanowerk News) Multimaterial 3D printing enables makers to fabricate customized devices with multiple colors and varied textures. But the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing ...

Speed-modulated ironing enables makers to fabricate objects with varied colors and textures, like the owls pictured here, using only one material with high precision. The technique is faster and ...
