Google Maps has got fresh competition. Using machine learning, computer engineers have developed an interactive map that ...

The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

The idea of using an “additive” approach in construction is not new. In fact, the first 3D printed building – a small, circular outbuilding made with stacked rings of extruded concrete—was erected in ...

Imagine you have a 3D printer that can do more than just print small models. The Infinity 3D printer is not only capable of self replicating itself but also by increasing its build volume. With the ...

Though it started out as a futuristic-sounding niche proposition, 3D-printed construction is really taking off throughout the United States and the variety of projects being printed is remarkable.

A 3D printer is emplyed to construct a five-home Yuba County micro community. Printer stacks inch-thick concrete layers, cuts waste, and accelerates build timelines. Company plans scale to multiple ...

A team of Germany-based researchers recently unveiled GlobalBuildingAtlas, which is likely the most detailed 3D map of buildings ever developed. Introduced earlier this month, the database ...

Step aside, Google Maps; stand down, Apple Maps. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany have created a new online atlas that shows the location of 2.75 billion buildings ...

Prolific woodworking YouTuber [Matthias Wandel] makes some awesome mechanical contraptions, and isn’t afraid of computers, but has never been a fan of CNC machines in the woodshop. He’s never had one ...

3D printing socks isn’t really a thing yet. You’d end up with scratchy plastic garments that irritate your feet no end. You can easily 3D print all kinds of nifty little mechanisms, though, so why not ...

The emergence of 3D printed open-source lathes marks a significant milestone in the development of cost-effective machine tools. By ingeniously combining 3D printing technology with concrete casting ...

The construction is faster, cleaner and more affordable, but experts acknowledge some trial and error is needed One potential tool to combat the growing affordable ...
