Scientific breakthrough F-Electric 1,000 times more electrically conductive than today’s best conductive filament—Makes it possible to build electronic or electromechanical capabilities seamlessly ...

Conductive filament isn’t an ideal electrical conductor, but it’s a 3D-printable one and that’s what makes [Hercemer]’s 3D-printed flashlight using conductive filament work. Every part of the ...

Surface conductors on vacuum formed parts appear in many hacks, from cosplay armor to 3D touch pads and smart objects. But making them has always been painful. Either they had to be hand painted after ...

Researchers in Brazil and the UK found a way to turn recycled coffee pods into 3D-printed conductive materials that can be used to create caffeine detectors. With that, they demonstrated one of the ...

When producing "smart fabrics" made of conductive fibers, it can be difficult placing functional elements such as electrodes in specific locations along those fibers. A new polymer, however, could ...

Though you can make objects smarter by adding sensors to them, a team of MIT engineers has managed to 3D print metamaterial structures with electrodes directly integrated into them to allow objects to ...

Researchers found a way to integrate sensing capabilities into 3D printable structures made of repetitive cells, enabling designers to rapidly prototype interactive input devices. MIT researchers have ...

Functionalize announced that it had beaten its promised electrical specification by 25% and has begun customer shipments of F-Electric, the world’s most conductive 3D printing filament. Being the ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method to 3D print mechanisms that detect how force is being applied to an object. The structures are made from a single piece of material, so they can be rapidly ...
