An ink for 3D-printing flexible devices without mechanical joints. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 04 / 240418111754.htm ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created a new, quick, and accurate 3D printing technique that uses ...

When it comes to creating objects with vastly different physical properties, materials fail either at the interface or when they come in contact with each other. The condition is similar to how the ...

If an object that's composed of two types of material is going to fail, the break will usually occur at the interface where ...

Traditional military training often relies on standardized methods, which has limited the provision of optimized training ...

Engineers have designed pliable, 3D-printed mesh materials whose flexibility and toughness they can tune to emulate and support softer tissues such as muscles and tendons. They can tailor the ...

The team’s flexible meshes were inspired by the pliable, conformable nature of fabrics. “3D-printed clothing and devices tend to be bulky,” Pattinson says.

Personalised flexible medical devices, such as joint braces or implantable supportive meshes, are among the applications for new additively manufactured material developed by MIT Additive ...

EPFL researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the ...

MIT engineers have designed pliable, 3D-printed mesh materials whose flexibility and toughness they can tune to emulate and support softer tissues such as muscles and tendons. They can tailor the ...

Newly designed 3D printed flexible and stretchy mesh could be used to create wearable supports such as ankle or knee braces and even implantable devices such as hernia meshes that support softer ...

As a demonstration, the team printed a flexible mesh for use in an ankle brace. They tailored the mesh’s structure to prevent the ankle from turning inward — a common cause of injury — while allowing ...
