A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

Scientists have created the most human-like robotic hand ever, complete with 3D-printed bones, ligaments and tendons. The breakthrough — the 3D printing of a mixture of hard and soft parts by ...

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

Completely 3D printed – even the lenses – then painted helmet prop produced by Thingergy, Los Angeles. Movie makers have the creative vision, but it’s the prop maker’s job to bring that creative ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness and transparency, on a pixel-by-pixel basis while using ...
