Cockroaches are usually the last creatures anyone wants to encounter. But researchers at Nanyang Technological University and Waseda University have turned them into unlikely rescue tools, fitting living insects with 3D-printed underwater suits that let them navigate flooded environments. It…

The plastics landscape is shifting rapidly, and with it, the boundaries of industrial production. For companies in the additive manufacturing sector, the intersection between traditional plastics processing and 3D printing has become a core strategic alignment. As the global manufacturing…

Known for its reddish-orange hue, copper is a popular metal due to its exceptional physical properties. These characteristics have made it a key material in a variety of industries, from electronics to the creation of end-use parts. With advances in…

A UCLA-led research team has used 3D printing to build a porous carbon electrode that pushes a hybrid zinc-ion battery to store more than seven times the charge of comparable devices, while retaining 82% of that capacity after 1,500 charge…

French automaker Alpine and apparel brand Lacoste have unveiled a one-off version of the Alpine A290 Rallye, called Beware of the Crocodile – Alpine Lacoste A290 Rallye. Inside, the rally seats incorporate parts produced using 3D printing by ERPRO, marking…

3D printing filament is a fundamental component of fused deposition modeling (FDM) and other extrusion-based 3D printing processes. Whether you’re a hobbyist, engineer or manufacturer, selecting the right filament is crucial to achieving strong, high-quality prints. Factors such as strength,…
