Printing furniture with liquid metal

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have developed an additive manufacturing technique that can print rapidly with liquid metal, producing large-scale aluminum parts, like table legs and chair frames, in a matter of minutes. MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab research team includes Zain Karsan, Kimball Kaiser, Jeremy Bilotti, Bjorn Sparrman, Schendy Kernizan, […]

Portable mass spectrometer components made via 3D printing

Using additive manufacturing, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Mass., produced a mass filter, which is the core component of a mass spectrometer, that is far lighter and cheaper than the same type of filter made with traditional techniques and materials.
