Researchers 3D print circuit board that can be dissolved in water. DissolvPCB can be created using a standard FDM system, PVA ...

“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...

University of Minnesota researchers developed a 3D-printed scaffold that directs stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells, successfully restoring movement in rats with severed spinal cords.

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

Flexible three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) enable high-density interconnects, miniaturization, and multifunctionality. Unlike rigid circuits, flexible 3D ICs can conform to various ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...

Multi-material AM (MM-AM) combines the efficiency and flexibility of 3D printing with diverse material properties and complex geometries for enhanced functionalities. This technology allows for the ...

What just happened? Traditional printed circuit boards are pretty much stuck being flat and 2D. But a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has leveled up circuit printing into ...

The cost of 3D printing has come down dramatically to the point you can set up a small printer in your home. Those printers only spit out little plastic baubles, though. The cutting edge of 3D ...
