Direct ink writing (DIW), is a 3D printing process that allows for the manufacture of ordered, porous structures using a layer-by-layer (LbL) method, where the mechanical behavior of the material is ...

A new research project from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Tangible Media Group combines 3D printing, molecular gastronomy and macaroni. According to MIT News, researchers Wen Wang and ...

3D NAND flash memory is built by vertically stacking multiple alternating layers (tiers) of silicon nitride (SiN) and oxide (TEOS) on top of each other. A major challenge in producing multilayered 3D ...

Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, takes a digital blueprint and turns it into a physical object using computer-aided design (CAD). A repeating 2D structure is built up, ...

The growing popularity of 3D printers, such as the Printbot or MakerBot's Thing-o-Matic, testify to the fact that additive manufacturing is slowly entering the mainstream. The devices are now small ...
