Scientists at the University of Strathclyde have created the world's first fully 3D printed microscope in under three hours and for less than £50—a fraction of the cost of traditional devices. Using a ...

The world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope can be made in a few hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional ones. “It’s not just enabling, it’s empowering,” says Gail McConnell at the ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

In a multi-year project, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed plasmonic plastic – a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be ...

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...
