The push towards innovative joint designs tailored specifically for 3D printing has yielded two notable advancements aimed at boosting structural integrity and simplifying assembly in 3D printed ...

Step 1: Make the 3D printed joint. ... Once that’s done, you’re ready to print — but for best results, you should take a moment to ensure the printer’s settings dialed in properly first.

Cable-driven systems are a classic solution, and a team of researchers from MIT and Zhejiang University recently shared some techniques for designing fully 3D printed cable-driven mechanisms.
