While a personal 3D printer is certainly an investment, if you regularly engage with an expensive hobby, it might actually ...

Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

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.

Multi-color 3D printing lets you combine multiple filaments into a single object in order to create ready-made items that don ...

MIT has embedded innovative sensors inside 3D-printed hinges, which means that lamps can respond to squeezes and gloves can ...

3D printing typically involves depositing layers of molten plastic, laser-melting powdered metal, or using UV light to harden gelatinous resin. A new technique takes yet another approach, however, by ...

If you thought your Bambu X1 Carbon was fast, a new 3D printing technique that can fabricate complex millimeter-scale objects in just 0.6 seconds may bring some buyer's remorse. To achieve such ...

Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take ...

Plastics, metals, and composites are the dominate materials right now for 3D printing. But if startup company Emerging Objects has its way 3D printing will be as diverse as a child's toy box, and ...

When an object is 3D printed, a computer processes an object’s design and sequentially “prints” each of its layers on top of one another. In a new form of 3D printing from the Max Planck Institute for ...

Some 3D prints look harmless, but hidden risks can turn them into unsafe or unreliable choices.

(Nanowerk News) Multimaterial 3D printing enables makers to fabricate customized devices with multiple colors and varied textures. But the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing ...
