Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

There's more to the decision than price alone.

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.

D printing is useful for designing custom tools and accessories, and many 3D printed designs dovetail nicely with existing ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...

Collaboration will create specialized materials tailor-made for composite-based additive manufacturing NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impossible Objects today announced a joint development ...

A Czech 3D printing company called Fillamentum has released the first ostensibly biodegradable filament, the stringy plastic used to extrude printed objects. Called NonOilen, the filament is made of a ...

When MIT researchers Jiani Zeng and Honghao Deng came up with Illusory Material, they took inspiration from two seemingly opposite muses: the natural world and the digital world. In both mediums they ...

3D printers have been touted as the next big thing in technology circles for years. While they might not have tipped over into the mainstream just yet, they're becoming a lot easier to use, and - ...

BERKELEY, CA—A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. Nicknamed the “replicator” by the inventors—after the Star Trek device that ...

(Nanowerk News) With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but ...
