Researchers have now created a new expandable foam 3D printing material that allows printers to create smaller objects that can expand on their own to make larger objects when the printed object ...

Expandable foam for 3D printing large objects Date: May 16, 2020 Source: American Chemical Society Summary: It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the ...

From seat cushions to mattresses to insulation, foam is everywhere — even if we don’t always see it. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with ...

3D foam printing itself is a recent technological innovation in the field of additive manufacturing, which is still poorly understood with several technical challenges before it can reach full ...

Some tiny foam printing tests that look a bit like flubber. In its current form—dish soap and UV resin—it may not look like much, but there's certainly potential for future application.

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much ...
