The U.S. Navy has been testing 3D-printed parts on its fleet, and it likes the results. Here are the benefits of using ...

You may have gotten a 3D printer just to make a few cool gadgets for around the house, but these five prints can actually ...

Though 3D printers are still too expensive to make their way across the globe into our homes next to our tablets and flat-screen TVs, the few lucky early adopters who got their hands on them have ...

A research team has used advanced 3D printing techniques to develop low-temperature, "sinterless" silica glass. They ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

A new 3D printing method, called Crystallinity Regulation in Additive Fabrication of Thermoplastics (CRAFT), ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

Prof. Robert Przekop's team from the Center for Advanced Technologies at AMU has created an invention allowing chemical substances to be introduced into objects printed on 3D printers. The solution ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions have embraced 3D printing as a tool for display, storage, preservation and conservation, and more. However, there is not much known about the safety ...
