Printing on fabric might be a familiar trick, but adding stretch into the equation gives our fabric prints the ability to reconstitute themselves back into 3D. That’s exactly what [Gabe] has ...

We’re impressed to see the continued flow of new and interesting ways to utilize 3D printing despite its years in the hacker limelight. At the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon [Billie Ruben] came to us from ...

Many 3D printers in the consumer space create plastic objects by manipulating PLA or ABS filament. However, plastic isn't the only material these gadgets work with -- we've seen 3D printers use ...

Perhaps the biggest barrier to entry is the sheer volume of jargon you’ll encounter. There’s a whole glossary of 3D printing ...

The design studio Nervous System has created a novel process that allows a 3-D printed dress to move and sway like real fabric. The bespoke software behind it, called Kinematics, combines origami ...

As 3D-printed architecture continues to grow in popularity, architects and designers are finding more and more creative uses for the cutting-edge tech. A new project by Studio RAP is the latest ...

NASA is getting into the textile business thanks to a team led by systems engineer Raul Polit Casillas at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The team has unveiled prototype ...

Conventional 3D printers are limited to one material and one material only: plastic. The type of plastic may very, but its inherent stiffness makes it less-than-ideal for printing anything delicately.

NASA engineers have come up with a highly creative solution to improving the functionality and durability of materials used in space. It's called "space fabric," and it's not only fashionable but also ...

A new concept vehicle from engineering firm EDAG utilizes uncommon construction and design to illustrate the potential future for lightweight sports cars. Called the EDAG Light Cocoon, the concept ...

Never an organization to knowingly fall behind in the world of cutting-edge tech, NASA has taken 3D printing to the next level by developing chainmail-style “4D” printed metal fabrics for use in ...
