MIT researchers develop rapid 3D printing process with liquid metal

Archinect

News is circulating about a novel method for 3D printing liquid metals that was developed by researchers working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Self-Assembly Lab. They say their discovery works without re-melting the recycled materials, as is the case with many current technologies.

Christien Meindertsma invents technique for 3D printing with wool

Deezen

Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma has developed a robot that can build three-dimensional volumes out of wool. The project was made possible with the help of robotics company TFT , which worked with Meindertsma to develop a custom robot arm. It's a technique you can use with any European wool," the designer told Dezeen.

Exploring Timber and Glass in 11 Contemporary Architectural Designs

ArchDaily

With technological development, techniques were also refined, and in the 19th century, industrialization spread the use of other materials, transforming and expanding the realm of construction: iron and glass. The initial materials used in construction certainly did so: clay, stone, and wood.

Gareth Neal and the New Raw develop 3D printing style based on crafts

Deezen

One of the outcomes of Digitally Woven is the Loopy chair The collaborators paired up with the goal of exploring how traditional craft techniques such as willow work, knitting, crocheting and paper-cord weaving could inform a new style of 3D printing. Their experimentation yielded a "massive amount" of samples and textures, said Neal.
