1. Cilllia software leverages the micron resolution of an Autodesk 3D-printer to generate hairy and texturized surfaces. MIT’s Tangible Media Group presents intuitive software that enables 3D-printing ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

A technique has been developed that enables hydrographic printing, a widely used industrial method for transferring color inks on a thin film to the surface of 3D objects, to color these surfaces with ...

3D printing the first ever biomimetic tongue surface Date: October 29, 2020 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have created synthetic soft surfaces with tongue-like textures for the first ...

Scientists claim to have created the first ever synthetic tongue using 3D printing. The 'biometric tongue', developed in the UK, mimics the elasticity, wettability and unique rough texture of a real ...

Using 3D printing, Monique McClain engineers energetic materials with controlled porosity and optimized binders to enhance ...

3D printers can solve so many organizational problems around the house, but every once in a while, issues arise that can ...

The study of pavement skid resistance and surface texture analysis is central to understanding road safety and the longevity of asphalt pavements. At its core, skid resistance represents the ...
