DUESSELDORF, Germany—Huntsman Corp. highlighted its advances in additive manufacturing technology at this year's K show with the launch of Iroprint materials, available in filaments, powder and resin.

For some time, the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing sector has been attempting to develop a dependable means for printing rubber-like filaments into desired shapes. The effort to establish ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

BLACKSBURG, Va.—Virginia Tech researchers have developed a process to 3D print styrene butadiene latex rubber, unlocking the ability to print a variety of elastic materials with complex geometric ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

PolyJet 3D printing is reminiscent of traditional inkjet printing, but is completed in 3D. A specialized print head jets liquid photopolymer (instead of printer ink) onto a 3D printing "build tray" ...

If an object that's composed of two types of material is going to fail, the break will usually occur at the interface where the two meet. A new type of light-activated 3D printing resin addresses that ...

A team of engineers at the University of Maryland has built a three-fingered soft robotic hand that is sufficiently agile to be able to manipulate the buttons and directional pad on a Nintendo ...
