Jonathon Cook’s goals were ambitious: to build a watch that had more functions than your everyday watch. Among other details, Jonathon wanted the watch to have plenty of program memory and enough battery for at…
3D printed Robot “Roboy,” the humanoid robot turned one year old last week. Work on Roboy first began last year, in early 2013, when the University of Zurich’s Artificial Intelligence Lab set to work on the…
Printing in full color is something most of us do without second thought. But 3D printing in full color? Until now, 3D color printing has been notoriously expensive and most people settle for monochrome 3D…
Graphene 3D Labs is a startup racing toward 3D printing with graphene.
Back in June, 3Dprinter.net reported that researchers at Harvard were making a leap forward applying 3d printing to battery making. This week they were recognized for that achievement by the Academic R&D Award at the…
Buttons are great; they turn things on, call for elevators, and ring doorbells. 3D printed optics will bring a glowing twist to the rewarding press of a button.
A story broke that there is yet an entirely new technology that holds promise for 3D printing metals. And the exciting thing is that it will print with liquid metal at room temperature!
If electronics are going to get any smaller, batteries are going to have to shrink as well. A professor of engineering at Harvard led a team to 3D print a lithium-ion battery that’s thinner than a strand of hair.
When it comes to 3D printing electronics, Optomec is leading the way, and they’re already printing smartphone antennas.
