There are myriad of uses for 3D printers in industrial, research, and consumer applications. The catch in those applications is that the printed objects have to be smaller than the machine that makes ...

Foam is a part of everyday life and has remained largely unchanged for a long time. Now a study by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory () has revealed that a new, 3D printed version is simply ...

From seat cushions to mattresses to insulation, foam is everywhere—even if we don't always see it. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create ...

Polyurethane foam chemistry is used in many applications across industry verticals such as automotive, packaging, construction, electronics, bedding, and furniture. But innovations in foam’s comfort, ...

3D printing has become quite advanced, however commercial printers are currently limited to printing objects smaller than the machine itself. While 3D printing of large-form objects exists, it’s ...

Developed at ETH Zürich in collaboration with FenX AG, FoamWork explores how foam 3D printing (F3DP) can produce distinctive shapes for stay-in-place, or temporary and recyclable concrete casting. The ...

Kai Parthy, inventor of the original Laywoo-D3 and Laybrick filaments, is back with an exciting new material for desktop filament fabricators. An extension of his foam PORO-LAY line, Kai has developed ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many everyday ...
