Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing objects with very different properties, including levels of hardness ...

3D printers aren't just for hobby projects. Some everyday items are surprisingly cheaper to make at home if you know what's ...

The new fast 3D printing technique developed by researchers at EPFL. Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne 3D printing has incredible potential for both research and home uses, but it has some ...

While consumer-grade 3D printers may be adequate for making things like models or curios, they're not always up to the task of creating objects that stand up to real-world use. That could be about to ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have co-developed a new way to precisely control the internal ...

There are about a dozen metrics by which I judge 3D printers when testing them, including speed, noise and the materials with which they can print. But, none of the latter attributes compares in ...

An interesting research project out of MIT shows that it’s possible to embed machine-readable labels into 3D printed objects using nothing more than an FDM printer and filament that is transparent to ...

Anyone interested in learning about 3D printing is encouraged to attend a talk about this “seemingly magical technology” at ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.
