April 25 (UPI) --Researchers have developed a new use for low-cost 3D printers: sensors on a hand to detect chemical or biological agents, as well as a way to charge electronic devices with solar ...

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that turns a digital model file into a physical object. A 3D printed object is created by layering materials sequentially using additive processes ...

FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers, better known as filament 3D printers, come in a wide range of models, at a wide range of prices, with many different features. Whether you're new to 3D ...

If you’re concerned about the toxicity levels emitted by your 3D printer, a new project offers a solution to help protect your home or business from harmful pollutants. While it’s exciting to watch ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Self-sustaining sensor platforms to continuously monitor the surrounding environment are core components for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and smart-grid systems. These sensor networks ...

International research team develops simple production process for acetone sensors The production of highly sensitive sensors is a complex process: it requires many different steps and the almost dust ...

It doesn’t happen that often, but this is the last time that [Lucas] comes back from hours of unattended 3D printing to find a large portion of plastic spaghetti mess and a partly disassembled Kossel.

Purdue University researchers have developed a method to embed electrically-conductive particles, or sensors, in 3D printed filament polymers and disperse them evenly. The patent-pending wet-mixing ...

Researchers in Brazil and the UK found a way to turn recycled coffee pods into 3D-printed conductive materials that can be used to create caffeine detectors. With that, they demonstrated one of the ...

This year in the world of smartphone fingerprint sensors, Qualcomm’s ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, the 3D Sonic Sensor, is expected to get widespread adoption. The first phone with the new ...
