Sound-based 3D printing could add a new trick to the additive manufacturing industry. Solid materials often block light and heat, but sound can reach inside a body or device.

By tracking their 3D models at different times after the earthquake, they created a time series of how electron density changed. Sound waves generated from entire fault lines, not single points ...

Shaping sound waves in 3D: Tech and medical applications Date: September 21, 2016 Source: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Summary: Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers have found a ...

At the other side, the wave travels off in all directions. Now, if we only consider a 2D top view, it looks like a considerable amount of the sound wave simply disappears from sight.

3D printing typically involves depositing layers of molten plastic, laser-melting powdered metal, or using UV light to harden gelatinous resin. A new technique takes yet another approach, however ...

Their results show sound wave disturbance patterns in unique 3D detail and provide new insights into how earthquakes generate these waves. The team published the results in the journal Earth, Planets ...

Researchers in Germany may have a solution: using holograms and sound fields to rapidly assemble matter in 3D. The process uses acoustic pressure to mold silica gel microspheres and other ...

Direct sound printing (DSP) utilizes high-frequency sound waves to accomplish its intended use. 3D-printing has been gaining in popularity as the cost of being able to buy the necessary equipment ...

Freshly-printed living tissue in resin. Credit: Tessa van der Riet Researchers in Australia have developed a new type of 3D bioprinter that uses sound waves to coax cells toward a desired output.

Physics 3D rabbit 'hologram' created by levitating screen using sound waves Sound waves can be used to keep an object hovering in the air, and a new technique works even in crowded spaces By ...

The researchers even demonstrated situations where their acoustic levitator can move and reposition parts behind barriers or inside existing structures: something impossible for 3D printers and ...
