The tech behind 3D printing has come an extremely long way. The additive manufacturing technique, which generally involves depositing one layer at a time, has gone from relatively crude rapid ...

What just happened? 3D printing has become very good at making shapes, but making complex machines with moving parts is where most printers tap out. MIT researchers, however, have developed a ...

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

A research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a 3D printing platform that can also process various electrically conductive materials. With it, they printed a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours. The team ...

MIT researchers developed a 3D-printing platform that can utilize multiple functional materials to fully print a complex electronic device, like an electric linear motor, in a matter of hours.

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can produce a working electric motor in a single roughly three-hour print session using five different materials, with minimal post-processing.

A broken motor can bring an automated machine factory to a halt—and instead of ordering a replacement part that could take days or weeks to arrive, with costly production delays, it may soon be easier ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a multimaterial extrusion 3D printing platform designed to fabricate complete electric machines in a single manufacturing ...

MIT engineers have 3D printed a working electric motor. That’s quite a feat because electric motors are made of metal and plastic, and most 3D printers can make objects in one or the other materials ...
