3D printing has been adopted by students, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, and massive factories. Because 3D printing allows for the transformation of a digital design into a tangible object, a wide ...

I bought a 3D printer a few years ago, primarily with the aim of printing functional items to use around the house. It has ...

What is a 3D printer? A Monoprice MP10 3D printer creates an octahedron in blue plastic. Monoprice A 3D printer is a device that can create physical objects from a digital file.

The best 3D printers for beginners offer simple setup, flexibility, and an intuitive interface to help get users up and printing.

We spend a lot of time thinking of how to create 3D objects, but what about being able to print full color graphics on the objects we create? This isn’t just multicolor, this is full-color! H… ...

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 ...

Conventional 3D printing methods often require multiple steps, high temperatures, or mechanical forces that can damage sensitive materials such as biological cells. German scientists have developed a ...

With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough ...

In a historic development, the ISS is now equipped with a 3D printer capable of theoretically shaping new objects by melting stainless-steel wire. This experimental printer, designed ...

Normal 3D printers work by building up thin layers of melted plastic to create solid objects, but it's hard to get intricate designs to hold their form.
