HeyGears' upcoming 3D printer has a load of tricks up its sleeve, but the most notable is its ability to produce full-color ...

Soft lithography is a fabrication technique used to create micro- and nanoscale patterns. Developed in the early 1990s by George M. Whitesides and colleagues, it simplifies pattern formation by using ...

Desktop 3D printers have come a long way over the past decade. They’re now affordable for almost anyone, capable of printing in many diverse materials, and offer a level of rapid prototyping and ...

I'm glad I kept using my 3D printer after the initial enthusiasm wore off ...

One of the great things about 3D printers is their ability to make a single part all at once. Separating a part into multiple pieces is usually done to split up objects that are too big to fit on the ...

Soft lithography facilitates the fabrication of intricate three-dimensional patterns and structures at both microscale and nanoscale dimensions. Diverging from photolithography, a technique commonly ...

For decades, traditional lithography techniques—such as electron beam lithography and nanoimprinting—have struggled to meet the demand for ultra-fine, high-aspect-ratio structures in general. Similar ...

Multiphoton lithography (often called multiphoton 3D lithography) is an additive manufacturing approach for fabricating intricate micro- and nanostructures. It relies on nonlinear optical absorption, ...

Researchers have developed a new way to 3D-print glass microstructures that is faster and produces objects with higher optical quality, design flexibility and strength. Researchers at UC Berkeley have ...
