Inkjet printers may be an inexpensive way to print out holiday snaps, but they can be fragile machines and end up at the city dump well before they hit kindergarten age. Italian maker Michele ...

Researchers from MIT, the MIT spinout Inkbit, and ETH Zurich have developed a new 3D inkjet printing system that works with a much wider range of materials. Their printer utilizes computer vision to ...

With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough ...

In 2017, Mimaki took all those colorful years of high-performance inkjet development and brought it to 3D. The 3DUJ-553, an industrial full-color 3D inkjet printer, was born.

A new high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being printed in real-time. This rendering shows a robot ...

Then 3D inkjet printing came along. Common versions of these printers squeeze a liquid resin material through hundreds of thousands of individually controlled nozzles—like an office printer printing a ...

3D printer inks from the woods Date: May 30, 2017 Source: Empa Summary: An environmentally friendly ink for 3D printing has now been created based on cellulose nanocrystals. This technology can be ...

We spend a lot of time thinking of how to create 3D objects, but what about being able to print full color graphics on the objects we create? This isn’t just multicolor, this is full-color! H… ...

Despite 3D printing's advances, creating arbitrary shapes and patterns is still challenging, the paper explains. So the researchers set out to create what they call "microbial ink" made "entirely ...

Cornell researchers have developed a one-step 3D printing method to produce superconductors with unprecedented ...
