A new process uses 3D printing to create components of syntactic foam—extremely strong and lightweight composites used in vehicles, airplanes, and ships. Researchers say the breakthrough holds ...

There are myriad of uses for 3D printers in industrial, research, and consumer applications. The catch in those applications is that the printed objects have to be smaller than the machine that makes ...

Foam is a part of everyday life and has remained largely unchanged for a long time. Now a study by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory () has revealed that a new, 3D printed version is simply ...

From seat cushions to mattresses to insulation, foam is everywhere—even if we don't always see it. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create ...

Polyurethane foam chemistry is used in many applications across industry verticals such as automotive, packaging, construction, electronics, bedding, and furniture. But innovations in foam’s comfort, ...

3D printing has become quite advanced, however commercial printers are currently limited to printing objects smaller than the machine itself. While 3D printing of large-form objects exists, it’s ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many everyday ...
