For makers of non-food objects, PET and more importantly its derivative, PETG, also happen to have excellent properties that make them the superior choice for 3D-printing filament for some ...

Here, we present bioinspired metamaterials with exceptional sound-absorbing and mechanical properties using a weakly-coupled design strategy. These materials incorporate multi-layered resonators ...

As it turns out, the additives that create these changes in coloring and transparency also affect the base properties of the polymer, whether it’s PLA, PETG, or another material. This is where a ...

Written by outstanding authorities in a variety of fields, this thorough text covers basic theories of shock and vibration measurement; testing, design, and control methodologies; and practical ...

Some properties of composites are more sensitive to environmental conditions. Thus, testing requirements are generally more demanding than is the case for metals. The use of mechanical testing for ...

Engineers design and build things. Practically every company that designs and produces a product employs a mechanical engineer. But mechanical engineers can also be found in research labs, the ...

The Master's degree programme integrates in-depth knowledge from core areas of mechanical engineering – such as mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, materials and manufacturing science, control ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

NARRATOR: It's crunch time for the 3D crew. And who's going to take home the coveted, and totally pointless, prize of, eh… most properties? Two cubes high-five as they prepare to compete.
