Vat photopolymerization, a light-based 3D printing technique, conventionally relies on UV light to rapidly transform liquid resins into intricate solid objects. However, the use of visible light as an ...

Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a capability that has long been a missing ingredient for a practical quantum ...

A new 3D printing technique developed at the University of Texas at Austin uses different light colors to fuse soft and hard materials into a single object, mimicking the flexibility and strength ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...
