ORNL and JuggerBot 3D are collaborating to expand 3D printing capabilities to include thermosets and thermoplastics.

Over the last few weeks I've been investigating 3D printed Cycloid Drives. I thought it was time to take a look at a Strain Wave, or Harmonic Drive reducer.

Art & Exhibitions Design Firm Turns Venice Canal Water Into Coffee, Clinches Top Biennale Prize The project was originally conceived for the 2008 biennale.

Spool manufacturers should now all make spools that universally fit on these multimaterial systems. A specific standard format should be agreed to by everyone. This would not only make it simpler for ...

Now, a new wave of automation is focusing on pipe spool welding. One example is Bin Quraya, a construction firm in Saudi Arabia, which has expanded its automation efforts beyond pipeline welding to ...

Building Design+Construction editors bring you the top building products for the month of February. Collected across a variety of building sectors, these products provide connections to nature, ...

The 3D-printed pipe was made from 316L stainless steel and produced using laser powder bed fusion. 3D printing reduced the need to glue or wire separate components, simplifying the MPL installation by ...

We demonstrate an interactive holographic display system for real-time drawing and erasing of 3D point-cloud images. This system detects the position of the observer’s fingertip with a motion sensor, ...

It’s a neat project, and the 3D printed tooling works surprisingly well. The key is that leather is relatively soft, so it’s possible to use plastic tools quite effectively.

Witness the incredible process of drawing a long steel pipe in a factory, where skilled craftsmen and seamless teamwork bring precision and craftsmanship together. From shaping the raw material to ...

MichaelHurd For the last few years, I've been impressed with how 3D animation has started using techniques to look more like 2D animation. I never thought we could go the opposite direction!

Some of the “sneaks” previewed during Adobe’s Max event include tools that can turn sketches into a variety of polished designs and a feature for rotating 2D art as if it were a 3D object.
