Since 3D printing went mainstream, there's been much buzz about a future filled with 3D printed buildings, cars, and airplanes. That could start to change with Autodesk’s Project Escher, a software ...

This app is pretty magical, but it'll cost you ...

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard University has come up with a way to get 3-D printers to print objects using data sets rather than geometric representations. In their paper published on the ...

Ordinarily, if you want to change the shape in which an object is 3D-printed, you have to alter the computer model that tells the printer what to do. A new and simpler technique, however, allows the ...

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? A team of scientists and engineers led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has developed a process that ...

3D printing technology is changing the way we manufacture everything from toys and clothes to human tissue. The process of printing a three-dimensional object is known as additive manufacturing. A ...

3D printing may be set to change the world by letting us make all sorts of bespoke objects, but there’s one little problem: the printers can only print items smaller than themselves. Until now, that ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

A tiny rectangular purge slot on many CoreXY printers conceals repeated filament purges and unexpected tradeoffs.

It seems like science fiction: a flat object issues from the 3D printer, then starts to fold itself. Albeit in a limited way, 4D printing was already possible, but now TU/e researcher Marc del Pozo ...

While additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has been a futuristic mainstay of manufacturing for years, it has struggled to scale both speed and size of its production due to ...
