Unlike other tech purchases you may make, a 3D printer lets you also make your own accessories rather than having to buy them ...

I started 3D printing for making fidgets and toys, but the hobby has shown lots of practical uses, too ...

My 3D printer started as a hobby machine, but it became the repair tool I reach for when small failures threaten useful gear.

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

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.

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 ...

In this article, we'll explore how this innovative method, which employs multiple acoustic holograms, works and examine its potential applications and limitations. What are Acoustic Holograms, and How ...

Volumetric 3D printing can create full objects in seconds, but wasted light has held it back. An EPFL team now redirects laser energy far more efficiently, producing larger, cleaner, cell-filled ...

A volumetric 3D printing method forms objects inside hanging resin droplets that detach by gravity, eliminating manual steps between prints and enabling faster serial production. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A new holographic 3D-printing platform can produce detailed living structures faster, larger, and with greater accuracy than ...

Holy moly! MIT students never sleep! This new trio of students has solved yet another mystery in the 3D printing world. Some of you may have experienced that moment when you have a power failure or ...

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space ...
