“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...

Nano Dimension is the leading manufacturer of 3D circuit printing worldwide. The PCBs market is currently dominated by Asian manufacturers, with production costs that are more competitive than Nano ...

Hydrogels are materials that have properties similar to biological tissue, making them ideal for use in medical devices. They are water-swollen and cross-linked polymeric networks that can retain a ...

Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Michael Molitch-Hou is an additive manufacturing analyst. The aforementioned giants are, at the very least, using a technology ...

3D bioprinting is a cutting-edge technology that enables the fabrication of living tissues and organs using a specialized 3D printer. It involves the precise layer-by-layer deposition of biomaterials ...

Multi-material AM (MM-AM) combines the efficiency and flexibility of 3D printing with diverse material properties and complex geometries for enhanced functionalities. This technology allows for the ...
