Researchers from Jiangnan University, a research university in Wuxi, China, and Jiangda Vibration Isolator Co., Ltd., a vibration-control manufacturer based in the same city, have developed a 3D printed silicone rubber lattice designed to resist fungal growth while absorbing vibration and repeated compression in marine environments. Reported in a study published in Advanced Composites and…

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) have tested full-scale 3D printed concrete walls under simulated earthquake conditions and experimentally validated a design framework for seismic applications. Published in the Journal of Building Engineering, the study addresses a procedural gap that has constrained the technology’s reach: no standardised building code specifically addresses…

Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed a volumetric 3D printing method that produced millimetre-scale polymer structures in as little as 0.6 seconds. Called digital incoherent synthesis of holographic light fields (DISH), the method uses holographically optimized light projections delivered through a high-speed rotating periscope, removing the need to rotate the resin container during printing. Published…
