Engineers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have reimagined what it means to 3D print metal. Instead of ...

EPFL scientists have created a breakthrough 3D printing method that uses hydrogels as templates to produce ultra-dense, ...

The process starts with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), a sol-gel industrial precursor used since the 1930s. It’s produced ...

Instead of starting with metal-containing resins, the EPFL team first creates a 3D scaffold using a simple water-based gel, ...

Swiss scientists have created dense, high-strength structures by injecting hydrogel with metal salts of various minerals like ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then ...

image: Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. Printed objects can be ...

Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

The 3D printing revolution is a pretty regimented one, when you think about it. You detail the design, feed it into the printer, then sit back and watch as it emits the material in strict horizontal ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...
