To think about an artificial limb is to think about a person. It's an object of touch and motion made to be used, one that attaches to the body and interacts with its user's world.

A major leap in photonic technology may soon transform how and where we manufacture 3D objects. Researchers at MIT have ...

The process of introducing the Kassel Hand model to the public highlights that just as the 16th-century amputee who wore the artifact had to learn to use it, one must learn to use the 3D-printed ...

As a mechanical engineering graduate student concentrating on additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, I explore how to use this technology to reconstruct historical mechanisms.
