Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

Los Angeles-based architectural startup Azure is changing the way things are done in the construction industry as they use recycled plastic to 3D print prefab homes. Now, they are selling house models ...

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...

“Our planet is choking in plastic,” states the United Nations. While the man-made material has many valuable uses, our addiction to single-use plastic products has led to severe economic, health and ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Researchers from Washington State University have developed a new way to convert rarely recycled plastic waste into a sturdy 3D printing material, the school announced.

Backyard cottages have been hailed as a way to quickly add new rental space in cities with a shortage of housing. But they’re typically expensive to build. In L.A., where the city government has been ...

Culver City, Calif.-based Azure Printed Homes Inc. will use additive manufacturing and recycled plastic to create tiny houses, backyard studios, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) — and maybe one day ...

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...
