Some of the greatest 3D printing inventions were made at MIT. Here’s how one of the most advanced universities is making 3D printing easier.
MIT researchers are using 3D printing technology to explore the secret behind the toughness of conch shells.
MIT has developed "Programmable Viscoelastic Materials" which can be 3D printed to make soft skins and work as shock absorbers.
Using a responsive "active textile", the Self Assembly Lab at MIT has created a 3D printed Minimal Shoe that adapts to fit your feet.
Scientists from MIT's Mediated Matter Lab have been developing a 3D printing platform called G3DP2, a groundbreaking system that is capable of producing objects out of molten glass.
Researchers from MIT, Draper, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a 3D printed ingestible capsule that can be controlled wirelessly to deliver drugs to patients.
Starting October 1, MIT is launching an 11-week online course for professionals interested in learning about 3D printing technologies, along with their applications and business potential.
Researchers from MIT CSAIL and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions are working on a project called the RoBoat which will free up road traffic in cities with a network of canals. The boats are autonomous and can even come together to create floating structures, such as bridges.
BMW and MIT's Self-Assembly Lab have collaborated to develop "liquid printed pneumatics", the first reported 3D printed inflatable material that can morph from one state to another and expand into any shape or function.
Students from MIT have created a prototype 3D printed device, AlterEgo, that can recognize the words you mouth when silently talking to yourself and interpret them as commands.
MIT showcases its rapid liquid printing process at Design Miami, 3D printing tote bags, lamps, and other art objects.
MIT engineers developed new 3D printing inks from bacteria cells and hope to one day be able to print living computational, wearable platforms.
3D printing has just been given a speed boost: MIT researchers have developed a 3D printer that is 10 times faster than most consumer models.
With a 3D printed turtle or baseball, say MIT researchers, you have the tools you need to spoof a neural network in the physical world.
Using 3D printing technology, MIT researchers have developed a microfluidic device capable of producing nanofiber meshes.
MIT and Aether are collaborating to provide students at the university with Aether 1 3D printers so they can research bio-materials, including Citrene.
