A group of researchers from Canada’s University of Western Ontario has developed and tested 3D-printed mounting mechanisms for the wood racking of PV modules. The open-source designs, aside from ...

Dual-filament printers may seem like a gimmick to the uninitiated, but they open up some powerful options for advanced designs. [Darren Tarbard] shows this off with a nifty spring clamp that is 3D ...

It almost feels anachronistic that 3D-printed titanium lugs bonded to carbon tubes would be a highlight of the world’s ...

It is over a decade since the RepRap project was begun, originally to deliver 3D printers that could replicate themselves, in other words ones that could print the parts required to make a new printer ...

Many firms and startups are trying to apply the techniques of 3D printing to building construction, including upscaling the tech to 3D-print entire structures from the ground up. But Chattanooga, Tenn ...

Arevo’s new bikes are made from a thermoplastic embedded with carbon fiber, and can be printed locally, instead of waiting for parts to ship. A typical bike sold in a U.S. bike shop today was made in ...

Officially founded in February 2018, Moi Composites is described as “the natural evolution of [LAB+’s] academic results. The startup will act as a co-design and production service for small series, ...

Complex manual steps in aircraft production – such as the assembly of newly developed, weight-reducing thermoplastic integral frames that stiffen the fuselage in the transverse direction – are to be ...

When it comes to a high strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is just about the best material out there for manufacturing bicycle frames. Unfortunately, those frames are also quite expensive. They could ...
