[MirageC] is a bit of a contrarian. Instead of taking pictures of 3D printed objects that show them in their best light, he takes pictures that show them at their worst. The reason? He wanted to ...

There are times when a custom, “good enough” part beats buying the real thing, and there are times when it absolutely doesn’t ...

The big question is whether LLM control becomes a standard “software upgrade” for MEX, or whether it stays a clever lab demo ...

More affordable than ever, 3D printers are booming for personal, professional, and educational use. We've been testing them for over a decade and are here to help you find the right option.

On its face, 3D printing is pretty simple — it’s basically just something to melt plastic while being accurately positioned in three dimensions. But the devil is in the details, and there seems to be ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new technique that uses high-energy lasers to fine tune the properties of 3D-printed metal without compromising the complex ...

The university's team reports that their approach centers on controlled "softening" of the material rather than complete melting. The process, known as hot-wire laser irradiation, reshapes ...
