D is a varied field with many uses, from product design to movie effects, animation and architecture. Certain elements cross all of these areas though. With that in mind, I've come up with my top ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

[Stefan] is always looking for a way to make stronger and better 3D prints. His latest experiments involve using a texture ... very thin objects, but — depending on the material — may flex ...

[Image: Illusory Material] Illusory Material uses multi-material 3D printing to create depth of color and texture in real-life objects. In the same way that digital photographs can be broken down ...

Fundamental to the uniqueness of physical objects are their tactile properties, such as roughness, bumpiness, or the feel of materials ... texture. On top of that, for platforms like the 3D ...

3D printing has become commonplace for the manufacturing of objects ... materials are shown in Supplementary Tables 2 and 6. While numerous other functionalities can be envisaged, we provide ...

Developers are able to modify the resulting file by customizing material properties with new textures, editing metadata and more. In addition, the resulting 3D objects can be previewed under ...

Gottwald published the first 3D-printing patent in 1971. Gottwald’s machine was designed to create 3D objects ... materials found in space to make parts and components needed for long-term ...

A Czech 3D printing company called Fillamentum has released the first ostensibly biodegradable filament, the stringy plastic used to extrude printed objects ... but the materials are still ...
