Krupped tells us that this project started with modelling the print in Solid Edge, a CAD programme from Siemens that we don’t see used too often by those featured in our 3D Print of the Day series.

This 3D printer builds objects by melting a fine metal powder with a laser. First, the surface is coated with metal powder. Then, a high-power laser melts that powder in a particular pattern.

Crystal has been 3D-printed into vases, ... The forms are inspired by frost crystals with walls that are just 1.5-millimetre thick. "By printing crystal we can in effect print light, ...

A 3D-printing method generated a loong, or Chinese dragon, made of two different types of semiconducting crystals: one that fluoresces red (top right, as imaged with colour filter) and the other blue.

The rounded crystals are produced using a technique called organic vapor jet printing, which is similar to the way a 3D printer works, but with a gas (boron subphthalocyanine chloride in this case ...

A nod to '90s nostalgia, STONEDALONE is a jewelry collection of 3D-printed mystical talismans. Brooklyn-based artist Wynn Mustin began this project not only to marry the past and present, but also ...

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to how muscles contract and relax in response to signals from the nervous ...

Rare crystal shape found to increase the strength of 3D-printed metal. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 04 / 250407172912.htm ...

Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it possible to use in lightweight, high-strength objects such as airplane parts.
