Typically, modern 3D gel printers have used ultraviolet or visible laser light to initiate formation of the gel scaffolding. However, Kolmakov and his colleagues have focused their attention on a ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...

Researchers in Brazil and France have developed a new type of starch-based gel that can be used to 3D print food products, among other things, according to a newly published study. The idea of 3D ...

A novel 3D printing technique suspends light-curing resin in a gelatinous medium rather than using conventional structural support material during the build process. The gel acts as an omnidirectional ...

The 3D printing revolution is a pretty regimented one, when you think about it. You detail the design, feed it into the printer, then sit back and watch as it emits the material in strict horizontal ...

To improve 3D printing, simply add gel. A fresh technique uses one to support complex shapes that would fall apart under their own weight in normal 3D printing. This new-found combination of strength ...
