Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

The process begins with a solution containing micron-scale copper particles suspended in water. A small amount of indium-gallium alloy, which remains in a liquid state at room temperature, is added to ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. The paper, "Metallic Gels for ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the printing of metal objects with the development of a highly conductive metallic gel that can be used to fabricate 4D-printed parts at room temperature. The ...

A two-part water-based gel made of synthetic DNA and peptide could bring the inventors of a 3D bioprinter closer to being able to print organs for transplant, or to replace animal testing. The teams ...

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 ...

Although we may think of 3D-printed items as being hard, they're actually often made from soft gels, as is the case with bioprinted body parts. A new system now allows such objects to be printed at a ...

First author Alina Elter (right) and Wibke Johnen, the medical technician responsible for the design of 3D printed objects, discuss a new 3D printed prostate attached to a silicone bladder for use in ...

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 ...
