[Ben Krasnow] of the Applied Science channel recently released a video demonstrating his process for getting copper-plated traces reliably embedded into sintered nylon powder (SLS) 3D printed parts, ...
Designing flexible electronics has long been constrained by the limits of two-dimensional printing. Now, researchers have introduced a novel method that “draws” rather than extrudes ink into air, ...
What just happened? Traditional printed circuit boards are pretty much stuck being flat and 2D. But a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has leveled up circuit printing into ...
“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...
Every year, the world throws away about 62 million metric tons of electronic waste. Despite the valuable metals in electronics, we recycle less than a quarter of what we produce. At the end of the day ...
The cost of 3D printing has come down dramatically to the point you can set up a small printer in your home. Those printers only spit out little plastic baubles, though. The cutting edge of 3D ...
A 3D printed ‘metamaterial’ boasting levels of strength for weight not normally seen in nature or manufacturing could change how we make everything from medical implants to aircraft or rocket parts.
WELLINGTON — From the dirt of Flying Cow Road, the $3 million wonder looks like just another barn. Up close, the bare walls reveal thick, gray, smooth layers of concrete placed on top of each other — ...
