In this episode, we talk about a research from Penn State that has proven the concept of printing tissue during surgery, a joint effort between MIT & Harvard to develop a hair brushing robot, and a breakthrough in anode free and sodium based batteries coming out of Washington University in St. Louis
One-of-a-kind tool helped solve anode puzzle that thwarted previous attempts
PETG vs PLA is a question asked by many newcomers to FFF 3D printing, with both materials offering important benefits. Choosing between them often comes down to the requirements of the project.
In this episode, we talk about MIT’s lobster inspired armor, wireless charging of electric vehicles, and a joint effort between RE2 Robotics and the US Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office to reduce the set up time/cost of solar farms.
In 3D printing, a material’s flexibility refers to how much it will bend when load or force is applied – as well as its ability to return to its original shape after bending. Flexibility is often defined as the flexural modulus (MPa).
