Researchers from Beijing Normal University, Sun Yat-sen University, and Guilin University of Electronic Technology have created an accessible device, utilizing a wearable sticker. The research, published in Biomedical Optics Express, details how the device translates gestures or facial expressions into words or commands. The device is also capable of detecting subtle body movements. TechXplore shares. […]

This is our 3D printed shelf, everything needed to assemble it is printable. The bracket, the top and the screws to attach it. Off course you'd need to drill some holes into the wall to attach it and use whatever screws you have for it, the spaces were added for it and considered the space […]

Our engineers examine this easy printer upgrade to learn how it can eliminate under extrusion, gear grinding, and filament slippage.  Posted on October 11, 2016 by MatterHackers The cause of bad 3D prints can often be traced back to the printer’s extruder. Many issues such as under extrusion, filament slippage, deformation and gear grinding are […]

A report from Reuters has claimed that the Pentagon is close to giving a contract for new rocket motors to the privately-held start-up Ursa Major, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Ursa Major uses 3D printing to create rocket engines and motors. The report says that the contract, expected to be small and […]
