As the patents for fused-filament 3D printers began to expire back in 2013, hackers and makers across the globe started making 3D objects in their garages, workshops and hackerspaces. Entire ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric ...

3D printers are great for hobbyists and companies building concept models, but they have several drawbacks. While you can build objects in all shapes and sizes, they are typically limited to only one ...

3D printing continues to gain ground among those who can afford to make use of the tech, but is it safe to use 3d-printed items when preparing food?

NORWALK, Conn. — August 31, 2016 — The innovative architecture of tiny, stainless steel nozzles inside the new Xerox Direct to Object Inkjet Printer has created a new, label-less, on-demand method of ...

Since 3D printing went mainstream, there's been much buzz about a future filled with 3D printed buildings, cars, and airplanes. That could start to change with Autodesk’s Project Escher, a software ...

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

While additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has been a futuristic mainstay of manufacturing for years, it has struggled to scale both speed and size of its production due to ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed a new high-speed 3D printing technology capable of achieving high-resolution printing of millimeter-scale complex objects in just 0.6 seconds, setting a new ...

The first 3-D printer in space has borne its first object, NASA said Tuesday, and it’s a bit self-fulfilling. The object, a replacement faceplate for the printer’s casing that holds its internal ...

After a series of calibration tests, the first 3-D printer to fly to outer space has manufactured its first potentially useful object on the International Space Station: a replacement faceplate for ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...
