“The ever-increasing demands of today’s electronic devices require smarter, faster semiconductors that use less energy. However, the advancements have been largely based on conventional chip designs, of which their two dimensional configurations are quickly approaching physical limits. The industry …
“Leveraging decades of research and expertise in precision mechanics, microfluidics and materials sciences, HP has developed a system that can control part properties voxel by voxel (a voxel is the 3D printing equivalent of a pixel). This level of control …
“One reason we don’t yet have robot personal assistants buzzing around doing our chores is because making them is hard. Assembling robots by hand is time-consuming, while automation — robots building other robots — is not yet fine-tuned enough to make …
“Using a high-tech 3-D printer, a Rutgers undergraduate and his professor created sophisticated braille maps to help blind and visually impaired people navigate a local training center. The three plastic tactile maps are for each floor at the Joseph Kohn …
“A three-year-old girl from Northern Ireland has become the first in the world to have a life-changing kidney transplant using 3D printing. It is the first time in the world that 3D printing has been used to aid kidney transplant …
“Consider it a jet engine for the Oompa-Loompas. GE engineers working on the future of aircraft manufacturing recently showed off some of their capabilities. They made a simple 3D-printed mini jet engine that roared at 33,000 rotations per minute …
