1+ mon, 3+ week ago (259+ words) "Right now, 3D printing leans heavily on experience and rules of thumb, slightly modifying recipes and settings until things work," said Tyler R. Ray , associate professor in the UH M'noa College of Engineering . "We want to provide engineers the tools needed to…...
3D-Printed Titanium Cases: Future of Apple Watch
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (991+ words) It started with a pie-in-the-sky idea: What if 3D printing - historically used to create prototypes - could be leveraged to produce millions of identical enclosures to Apple's exact design standards, with high-quality recycled metal? "It wasn't just an idea - it was an…...
New Resin Enables 3D-Printing Add-Subtract Method
2+ mon, 11+ hour ago (250+ words) Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is normally a one-way street. In a digital light processing (DLP) printer, a structured pattern is projected onto a layer of liquid resin, which cures and solidifies. This builds an object up, layer-by-layer. But if the…...
