What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

Imagine being able to create custom vibrant, multi-colored 3D prints with the same ease as printing a single-color object. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this idea sparks excitement—but anyone ...

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 ...

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

The team at MIT hopes that Foundry will become 3D printing’s analog to graphic design’s Photoshop. To aid rapid prototyping, the platform enables the designer to assign distinct material properties to ...

The Software Experts analysis reflects a broader trend in creative software toward tools that bridge online accessibility and production readiness. As design output increasingly moves from screen to ...
