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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recyclable plastic objects can be 3D-printed using light 1. 3D printing can quickly make objects with complex shapes. But recycling those products into ones that are equally tough is a challenge.

For as long as they’ve been banded about, 3D printers were regarded as the path to a new economy, a method of distributed manufacturing, and a revolution for the current consumer culture.

“All of that force can concentrate onto narrow points in the 3D-printed object, causing it to break.” In 2014, Yumoto and his colleagues, including engineers on loan from Sony, overcame this ...

The first metal thingamajig ever 3D printed in space has landed on Earth, where European Space Agency (ESA) scientists are ...

If the animals “consume” the enrichment faster than the caregivers can construct and install it, the animals may remain stressed. For custom-made objects, 3D printers may prove useful in keeping up ...

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 ...

3D-printed lattice-like composites can be designed to detect their own strain ... Predicted current flow was compared with heat-sensitive photographs taken of real current flowing through, and ...
