Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) engineers and scientists, in collaboration with Stanford University, have ...

Using light to 3D print liquid resins is hardly a new idea. But researchers at the University of Texas at Austin want to double down on the idea. Specifically, they use a resin with different physical ...

Light-based 3D printing now works with switchable redox polymer inks, enabling complex structures that change color electrochemically for advanced optoelectronic devices. The complex two- and ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...

Scientists have created a 3D-printing media that can take on different colors in different parts of a single print job. The secret lies in utilizing ultraviolet light to selectively alter the surface ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

Visualization of a 3D-printed pyramid displaying electrochromic behavior. Due to the different redox states of the conducting material it reversibly changes color in response to electrochemical ...
