So you’re convinced to put your parts on a diet. Or maybe you’re starting from a blank sheet and want to design with lightweighting strategies from the start. The following are five approaches to...
Quality assurance inspections prove that additive manufacturing (AM) a perfect part is a lot harder than many engineers thought. A bracket’s lattice structure that was built using additive manufacturing AM is a layer-by-layer production...
Neri Oxman and the Mediated Matter Group at MIT have unveiled a new 3D printing project. In Aguahoja, 3D printed lattices have been “shaped by water” to form large, sculptural chrysalides. Made from cellulose,...
