The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

MIT researchers have developed a multi-material 3D-printing platform that can be used to fully print electric machines in a ...

The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents in materials.

As many would point out in the years to come—sure, they’d pass on hotwiring a car in their neighbor’s driveway, but they’d be ...

3D printing and silicon photonics have combined in a rather exciting way this week. Researchers at MIT have engineered a novel 3D printing design on a single computer chip, officially the world's ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

MIT researchers have shown a new multi-material 3D printing platform that can produce electric machines in one go. In a demo, ...

While "traditional" objects may exhibit varying degrees of glossiness in different areas, 3D-printed items are typically uniformly shiny all over. That could be about to change, however, thanks to a ...

Engineers at MIT have recycled "dirty plastic into building products for homes that are lighter, more durable, and sustainable." ...

The two most common desktop-style 3D printers are FDM (for fused deposition modeling) and SLA (or stereo lithography). FDM printers lay down layer after layer of filament, resulting in objects that ...
