Repente has taken the aesthetics for 3D printed bike saddles in a new direction, foregoing the exposed-lattice look for a ...

Adient has been granted a patent for a body-supporting component featuring a main body with a 3D lattice structure. This design incorporates deflection properties and is made from a flexible material, ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

Many industries rely on 3D-printed components, but their internal structures often limit strength and reliability. New ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...

Touch is the sense that brings us into direct contact with reality, revealing shape, texture, and resistance. Designing soft sensors to mimic biological fingertips facilitates natural haptic ...

A cheetah’s powerful sprint, a snake’s lithe slither, or a human’s deft grasp: each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...
