Researchers at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering have developed a new approach to nanoscale 3D printing ...

Laser additive manufacturing can produce advanced parts, but the resulting metal microstructures are unpredictable for complex alloys, limiting reliability for critical applications. Metal 3D printing ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

An international team of researchers has embedded gold nanorods in hydrogels that can be processed through 3D printing to create structures that contract when exposed to light—and expand again when ...

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...

In the brightly lit MSE Teaching Laboratory inside Cook Hall, teams of Northwestern Engineering students peer into 3D printers, eagerly waiting to see their latest results. The materials they are ...

Massive robotic nozzles squirted layer upon layer of concrete under the high desert sun.

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...
