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 ...

What just happened? 3D printing has become very good at making shapes, but making complex machines with moving parts is where most printers tap out. MIT researchers, however, have developed a ...

Training for a clerical military role in France, Gustavo Barboza felt a spark he couldn't ignore. He remembered his love of learning, which once guided him through two college semesters of mechanical ...

A research team from the MIT has presented a multi-material 3D printing platform that can manufacture complex electrical machines in a largely continuous production step. A linear electric motor was ...
