The system, called TactStyle, adds realistic textures to 3D models, giving them both the visual look and the tactile feel of ...

3D printing allows makers of all skill levels to create practical and personalized objects that can save time and effort. Whether you enjoy improving your home setup or experimenting with ...

3D printing is a downright futuristic technology. People can use plastic filaments, resin, and other materials to create custom objects. The quality of the print is limited by a user's printer ...

Whether it's upcycling broken furniture or saving money by printing replacement parts or everyday items like wallets and ...

The idea began as a fun project between friends and later turned into a dream project. For the length of the kayak, they figured a treadmill could work well as a 3D printer base, since it allows for ...

Most makers, I’m sure, enter into the 3D printing world ... if all the objects aren’t catalogued in one database, searchable by anyone, it’s just not as useful a site as Thingiverse.

For custom-made objects, 3D printers may prove useful in keeping up with demand—once a design is acquired, objects could be printed as needed—but there isn’t much history of their use as an animal ...

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 ...

The 3D printer then builds the object layer by layer using materials like plastic, resin, or even concrete on larger industrial printers. "This hands-on approach helps develop problem-solving ...

The authors selectively exposed some of the mixture to light, then repeated this process to create layered 3D objects, some ...

3D-printed lattice-like composites can be designed to detect ... sensitive photographs taken of real current flowing through, and therefore heating, real printed objects. “They found that their models ...
