Researchers from MIT and the University of Texas at Austin worked together to achieve a breakthrough in the world of 3D printing, creating a protype the size of a US quarter. The researchers say that “this system is completely rethinking what a 3D ...

D printers have gained momentum and revolutionized traditional printing over the past few years. Unlike 2D printers, these new and improved 3D printers 3D printers have gained momentum and revolutionized traditional printing over the past few years.

Around 2015, the headlines and hysteria surrounding 3D printing reached a fever pitch. If you subscribed to the buzz—and so many of us did—the revolution was nigh. Our homes would soon be equipped with personal printers that would make everything from ...

3D printers are now affordable and more user-friendly than ever before, but that doesn't mean there aren't some pitfalls still out there for people new to the hobby—or those who want to do serious business! There's always something more to learn about 3D ...

When it comes to innovation, engineers have long proved to be brilliant copycats, drawing inspiration directly from nature. But now some scientists are moving beyond simple imitation to incorporating natural materials into their designs.

BERKELEY (KPIX 5) -- Researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore Lab have created a new kind of 3D printer that could potentially manufacture living human organs. Normal 3D printers work by building up thin layers of melted plastic to create solid ...

If Canon were to use its prototype 3D printer to print components for production models, Rep-Rap style, customers might see it a little faster. Canon claims, after all, that its new 3D printing technology will be good enough for rapid manufacturing, in ...

3D printing is still kind of a niche thing; a mysterious and complicated dark alley of the whole maker movement seemingly kept behind a gated wall of complexity, janky hardware and imposing lingo and community. Admittedly, you can buy a 3D printer very ...

For a long time, 3D printing has been predominantly male. That's changing, though, and it's for the better. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D ...

CHARLESTON, SC (WCIV) — With a shortage of supply for protective masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, MUSC is turning to 3D printers to make protective masks for their nurses and doctors and the rest of their staff. They are also releasing their plans so ...

A team of researchers from the University of California at Berkeley have unveiled a 3D printer that uses light to create an entire object at once. It's called the Replicator, named after the machines in the Star Trek universe that can synthesize food ...
