A team of researchers are developing a platform to 3D print affordable sensors for detecting environmental hazards.

April 25 (UPI) --Researchers have developed a new use for low-cost 3D printers: sensors on a hand to detect chemical or biological agents, as well as a way to charge electronic devices with solar ...

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...

If you’re concerned about the toxicity levels emitted by your 3D printer, a new project offers a solution to help protect your home or business from harmful pollutants. While it’s exciting to watch ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Self-sustaining sensor platforms to continuously monitor the surrounding environment are core components for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and smart-grid systems. These sensor networks ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the development of flexible electronics, soft robotics and wearable devices.

These inexpensive sensors could help predict the weather. MIT engineers have created the first 3D-printed plasma sensors that can be used on orbiting spacecraft. These sensors, known as retarding ...

It doesn’t happen that often, but this is the last time that [Lucas] comes back from hours of unattended 3D printing to find a large portion of plastic spaghetti mess and a partly disassembled Kossel.

Mechanical engineers and computer scientists have developed a 3D printing technique that uses motion capture technology, similar to that used in Hollywood movies, to print electronic sensors directly ...

Rocket engineering is shifting from painstaking machining and welding to a world where engines and tanks emerge from printers ...
