Printing on fabric might be a familiar trick, but adding stretch into the equation gives our fabric prints the ability to reconstitute themselves back into 3D. That’s exactly what [Gabe] has ...

As 3D-printed architecture continues to grow in popularity, architects and designers are finding more and more creative uses for the cutting-edge tech. A new project by Studio RAP is the latest ...

Conventional 3D printers are limited to one material and one material only: plastic. The type of plastic may very, but its inherent stiffness makes it less-than-ideal for printing anything delicately.

The human body and sharp objects don’t get along very well, especially when they are being wielded with ill-intent. Since ...

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

Never an organization to knowingly fall behind in the world of cutting-edge tech, NASA has taken 3D printing to the next level by developing chainmail-style “4D” printed metal fabrics for use in ...

The design studio Nervous System has created a novel process that allows a 3-D printed dress to move and sway like real fabric. The bespoke software behind it, called Kinematics, combines origami ...

A new concept vehicle from engineering firm EDAG utilizes uncommon construction and design to illustrate the potential future for lightweight sports cars. Called the EDAG Light Cocoon, the concept ...

NASA engineers have come up with a highly creative solution to improving the functionality and durability of materials used in space. It's called "space fabric," and it's not only fashionable but also ...
