Ultra high-frequency sound transmits energy through flesh and other materials that block light or heat used in conventional 3D printing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote ...
Master of none, and all that.
Canadian researchers at Concordia University want to change how you do 3D printing. Instead of using light or thermal mechanisms, they propose using ultrasound-activated sonochemical reactions. Sounds ...
In holographic direct sound printing, a transducer emits high-acoustic pressure sound waves, inducing a sonochemical reaction called cavitation that creates solid material inside the build chamber. A ...
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 ...
3D printing typically involves depositing layers of molten plastic, laser-melting powdered metal, or using UV light to harden gelatinous resin. A new technique takes yet another approach, however, by ...
Researchers at Concordia University have devised a way to solidify liquid into plastic, creating a 3D-printing option that could be used to implement medical implants directly inside a patient's body.
