Every year, the world throws away about 62 million metric tons of electronic waste. Despite the valuable metals in ...

[Ben Krasnow] of the Applied Science channel recently released a video demonstrating his process for getting copper-plated traces reliably embedded into sintered nylon powder (SLS) 3D printed parts, ...

The cost of 3D printing has come down dramatically to the point you can set up a small printer in your home. Those printers only spit out little plastic baubles, though. The cutting edge of 3D ...

Electronic devices that dissolve in water could make it easier to create and recycle technology prototypes – and they could ...

What just happened? Traditional printed circuit boards are pretty much stuck being flat and 2D. But a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore has leveled up circuit printing into ...

In future iterations, BotFactory believes it can 3D-print multi-layered surface-mounted circuit boards, like what’s inside your cell phone. That’s not going to be possible with the first generation of ...

Traditional electronic systems have historically been the packaging of packaged components, modules, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). We design the box then fill the box with electronics. With the ...

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 ...

Nematode worms given glowing shapes inside their bodies show how electronics can be directly 3D printed within a living organism. The technique could one day be used to create and maintain implants or ...
