This teeny little camera lens from the University of Stuttgart is so small it can be slipped over the tip of a strand of fiber optic. The three-lens camera, which can focus as close as 3 millimeters, ...

3D printers are being used to print a huge variety of objects, including customized personal electronics, a prototype hybrid car, and eventually, tools for astronauts. Now, a recently graduated design ...

We’ve seen 3D printed cameras before, but they always include some prefabricated part: a hinge, a spring, or more complicated bits like shutters and iris mechanisms. But designer Amos Dudley has done ...

A few years ago, Léo Marius released designs for a 3D-printable camera that captured pretty decent black and white stills. The camera still needed some proper glass out front though. Digital designer ...

If you are looking to add a little flair to your photos and happen to have a 3D printer laying around, you are in luck. Thanks to the YouTube channel Make Anything, you can now 3D print your own ...

Free 3D models of camera accessories are readily available. But does it really now make sense to 3D print your own lens gears? Some of the flakiest bits of engineering currently being inflicted on ...

One of the questions I am asked most about 3D printing is about the practicality of a hobbyist-grade printer and its ability to print useful items instead of just trinkets and toys. My go-to answer is ...

Technology has always been an enabler. With more power to prototype and manufacture being placed into the hands of people who in years gone by could not even dream of such things, will open source ...

NASA is already using 3d printing to make rocket engine parts, a space pizza maker and even physical photos from the Hubble Space Telescope. But by the end of September, one NASA engineer expects to ...
