Split-flap displays are a great, low-power way to display text to a wide audience. Compared to other display technologies ...

The recently released Valve Steam Machine is that it uses a custom, non-standard PCB and non-standard power supply. This fact ...

The process uses electronic inks that contain tiny particles of conductive material, such as copper, silver or gold. The ...

Assembling tiny SMD components by hand is one of the most challenging parts of PCB manufacturing. Some components, especially 0201-sized parts, are so small that accurately placing them with tweezers ...

This display can show two different images at the same time - no VR headsets, no software tricks, just pure optics. This is a ...

Formlabs wants to make industrial 3D printing feel less like industrial 3D printing. The company has spent more than a decade building printers that make professional-grade prototyping cheaper and ...

Eric Tirschwell and Alison Barnes discuss the Third Circuit’s decision in ‘Defense Distributed v. Attorney General of New Jersey,’ which held that there is no constitutional barrier to regulating ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...

In this series I will be documenting my design and testing process for making a 3D printed arduino hexapod. This video sets up the basic premise of the project with a quick test of a servo controlled ...

Part II of building a 3D printed Arduino hexapod robot focuses on the leg design. Follow the engineering process, mechanical layout, and 3D printed components used to create stable robotic legs.

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

3D-printed guns are a growing threat to public safety. The blueprints used to make these firearms can be found online, making them easily accessible. With a relatively cheap 3D printer and a quick web ...
