Conductive 3D printing (3DP) material isn't a new idea. We've reported on conductive 3DP inks and filament several times, including Voxel8's conductive ink, Optomec's Aerosol Jet spray technology, and ...

Everything is a fuse if you run enough current through it. Or at least [JohnsonFarms.us] seems to think so, which has led him to design 3D-printed fuses made from conductive PLA filament. Conductive ...

Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a method to embed electrically-conductive particles, or sensors, in 3D printed filament polymers and disperse them evenly. The patent-pending wet-mixing ...

From touch-sensitive smartphone screens to fitness wearables and wireless earbuds, electronics are becoming ever more integrated into our daily lives—and smaller, lighter, and more flexible in the ...

In a study published recently in the journal Small ("Fabrication of Electronically Conductive Protein-Heme Nanowires for Power Harvesting"), researchers revealed that protein nanowires – which were ...

What if advanced chemical sensors could be printed on demand using recycled materials, while still delivering the sensitivity needed to detect toxic contaminants in real-world water systems?
