It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

The key to solving future food supply problems might be 3D Printing! A team of researchers at the Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) aims to provide a solution to address food supply ...

Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.

Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect models to explore how some species trick predators into thinking they're more dangerous than they really are—and ...

(Nanowerk News) A new type of insect-repellent delivery device has been developed by scientists from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). With the help of a 3D printer, the active ...

Digital insects A new colour 3D modelling system developed in Australia is digitising even the tiniest insects to help researchers study them better. The models could also have applications in ...

(A) Wearable device for the antennae: (i) A 3D model of the cockroach’s head was used as a reference to design the wearable device for the antennae. (ii) Two hooking mechanisms were incorporated to ...

Scientists have developed a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system to obtain natural-color 3-D models of insects. Scientists studying insects rely on collected specimens that are often shared between ...

A big reason I love 3D printing is the massive community of 3D-printing enthusiasts online. There are times when I'm either too lazy to make my own designs or I just don't have the required technical ...
