One of my first discoveries about 3D printing was the large number of mostly-free objects people have designed and made available for you to simply download and print. You don't have to have an iota ...

Makerbot is in the gutter, 3D Systems and Stratasys stock is only a shadow of their 2014 glory, but this is the best year 3D printing has ever had. Machines are now good and cheap, there’s a variety ...

3D printers can make objects of practically any shape you can dream up, but despite the fact that they’re so capable, there’s one thing that they often struggle with: overhangs. Filament-based 3D ...

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 ...

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 ...

Over the past few years, 3D printing has become increasingly common, with companies turning to the technology as an effective way to manufacture products. Disney has started experimenting with 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 ...

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, ...

The typical, consumer-grade 3D printer creates objects made of thin layers of stiff, brittle plastic fused together. Of course, hard plastic isn’t ideal for all projects, so that’s why researchers ...

Some 3D prints look harmless, but hidden risks can turn them into unsafe or unreliable choices.
