With a simple motion, a jack-in-the-box-like spring designed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory showed the potential of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, to cut costs and complexity ...

With the growing popularity of 3D-printed products, material consumption has been a major concern in additive manufacturing in recent years. Choosing the infill structure and the printing parameters ...

Structures in nature combine hard and soft materials in precise three-dimensional (3D) arrangements, imbuing bulk properties and functionalities that remain elusive to mimic synthetically. However, ...
