The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents in materials.

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

MIT researchers have developed a multi-material 3D-printing platform that can be used to fully print electric machines in a ...

Electronics such as Bluetooth speakers can be 3D-printed from a material that dissolves in water within hours. That allows designers to rapidly create prototypes, enables easier recycling of the ...

Researchers produced 3D-printed, semiconductor-free logic gates, which perform computations in active electronic devices. As they don't require semiconductor materials, they represent a step toward 3D ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We're conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated ...

3D mice with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) motion are highly valued by professional CAD users. However, the entry-level versions typically cost upwards of $150 and are produced by a single ...

In recent years, 3D printing has advanced rapidly. However, the technology has been trapped ...

Additive manufactured electronics (AME) brings significant advantages such as increased functionality and design flexibility to developers. Devices like 3D printers are just one way to incorporate AME ...

“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...

(Nanowerk News) Active electronics — components that can control electrical signals — usually contain semiconductor devices that receive, store, and process information. These components, which must ...
