Forget your regular ol’ 3D printer. Why not try using sound waves to form a 3D object? That’s exactly what researchers in Germany set out to do, making use of “acoustic holograms” to form distinct 3D ...

The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to ...

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The researchers ...

Wooden objects are usually made by sawing, carving, bending or pressing. But now, scientists have developed flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer which can be programmed to self-morph into ...

I took a sculpture class once that had us do a project using cardboard, and it turns out you can do some pretty crazy stuff with those flimsy little layers. I imagine, with enough planning and ...

So, you’re trying to figure out how is CNC machining different from 3D printing? It’s a common question, and honestly, they’re both pretty cool ways to make stuff, but they go about it in totally ...
