A research group led by Professor Cheng Jian at Tsinghua University has 3D-printed a solid, millimetre-scale object in 0.6 ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

When we think of 3D printing we usually think of a little robot that squirts out endless lines of plastic onto a surface. But vacuum forming—smoothing a sheet of thin plastic over an object to make a ...

From smart printers to material innovations, stay ahead in 3D printing with these new gadgets that improve speed, quality, ...

3D printing is all well and good for making low numbers of units, so long as they’re small enough to print in a reasonable time, but what if you want to go really big? Does a 35-hour print time sound ...

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

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.

Avon-based Mears Machine Corp., which has invested millions of dollars in 3D metal printers since last year, sees the technology as a key that could unlock massive growth for the company in the coming ...
