Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

Light-based 3D printing now works with switchable redox polymer inks, enabling complex structures that change color electrochemically for advanced optoelectronic devices. The complex two- and ...

A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...

If you own a resin 3D printer you might be interested in a new Kickstarter project launch this month for the Kirin. A 4K light engine specifically designed to help enhance your 3D printing workflow ...

Scientists have created a 3D-printing media that can take on different colors in different parts of a single print job. The secret lies in utilizing ultraviolet light to selectively alter the surface ...

Using light to 3D print liquid resins is hardly a new idea. But researchers at the University of Texas at Austin want to double down on the idea. Specifically, they use a resin with different physical ...

From customized hearing aids to complex dental implants, 3D printing has transformed how we make finely detailed products. However, there is a major problem with this promising technology that is ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

Visualization of a 3D-printed pyramid displaying electrochromic behavior. Due to the different redox states of the conducting material it reversibly changes color in response to electrochemical ...
