A study inspired by the Japanese paper-cutting art provides a blueprint for designing shape-shifting materials and devices.

The approach could improve the performance of many other materials as well.

FlexBoard is a flexible breadboard that enables rapid prototyping of objects with interactive sensors, actuators, and displays on curved and deformable surfaces.

Scientists used Lego to build a bioprinter capable of printing human tissue samples.

A new system enables makers to incorporate sensors into gears and other rotational mechanisms with just one pass in a 3D printer.

The soft robotic models are patient-specific and could help clinicians zero in on the best implant for an individual.

With a grant from the Office of Naval Research, MIT researchers aim to design novel high-performance steels, with potential applications including printed aircraft components and ship hulls.

A technique that transforms the metals’ microscopic structure may enable energy-efficient 3D printing of blades for gas turbines or jet engines.

Provider of ultra-high resolution 3D printing becomes sustaining member of industry group.
