The infill settings you use for your 3D prints can make or break them — literally. Let's talk about what infill does and how ...

FDM stands for fused deposition modeling, but what does that mean, and how does it differ from other 3D printing methods? Let ...

Scientists combine materials science invention with newly developed 3D printing technology. Components made of highly transparent glass can be manufactured in just a few minutes and with great ...

UNSW engineers have developed a process to print solid-state polymer electrolytes into any shape desired for use in energy storage. The research team from the School of Chemical Engineering led by ...

The University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a chemical process that could revolutionize light-driven 3D printing. The University of Texas at Austin Vat photopolymerization, a powerful ...

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 ...

An Elegoo Mars resin 3D printer, straight to my doorstep for a few hundred bucks. What a time to be alive. Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing (DLP) and especially stereolithography ...

Scientists at Fraunhofer IGD have devised a purely geometric and algorithmic method for the elimination of stair-step artifacts in multi-material 3D printing. To avoid quantization errors, the surface ...

Studies have found that the 3D printing process releases gases and particulates which could pose health risks to users. These emissions include volatile organic compounds, referred to as VOCs, some of ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Several startups are positioning 3D printing as the next, most-attractive sustainable, efficient and affordable option for home construction. The innovation is improving at warp speed, gathering the ...

Don’t be fooled by the name. While 3D printers do print tangible objects (and quite well), how they do the job doesn’t actually happen in 3D, but rather in regular old 2D. Working to change that is a ...
