Abstract: It is always a challenging task in the industry to detect the small printing defects under complex background. To address this problem, a defect detection algorithm based on multi-scale ...

The Lafayette Public Library has introduced wireless printing at its six major branches. Patrons can send documents from personal devices to the library's printers using the SmartALEC service.

A new open-source tool is reshaping how engineers design multi-material objects. Charles Wade, a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, has created a design ...

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

Abstract: We address the problem of object arrangement and scheduling for sequential 3D printing. Unlike the standard 3D printing, where all objects are printed slice by slice at once, in sequential ...

If you run a commercial print company, you've probably asked or been asked this question: "Should we be using HubSpot?" It’s a common inquiry from print service providers (PSPs) aiming to scale their ...

3D printing may be a breakthrough technology, but it isn’t sustainable. Most printers still rely on petroleum-based plastics, while greener alternatives are too brittle to use in parts that need ...

Anticipating a boom in nuclear energy, the US Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is using 3D-printing to speed up the building of power ...

A young innovator in Senegal recycles plastic into 3D printer filament — making tools and garden gear, while promoting climate action and waste reduction. Army reveals the real cost of Trump’s ...

A new 3D printing technique developed at the University of Texas at Austin uses different light colors to fuse soft and hard materials into a single object, mimicking the flexibility and strength ...

The result of a new method for printing objects using novel resins provide flexibility, strength and complexity akin to what is found in nature. Credit: The University of Texas at Austin. Scientists ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...
