The new 3D printer can optimize 3D metal printing for construction time, metal powder consumption, device costs, and post-processing work. The team behind the 3D printer has applied for a patent ...

Watching a 3D printer work always reminds us of watching a baker decorate a cake. Gooey icing squeezes out of a nozzle and makes interesting shapes and designs. While hot plastic doesn’t tast… ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a 3D printer that can print LEDs in layers -- and it could one day print contact lenses that incorporate heads-up displays.

Generally this is the trickiest part of using a 3D printer; depending on your skill level, it can be very time consuming. The Ultimaker 2's dial button comes in handy during this process.

However, I happened to have access to the syrup-thick UV resin from an SLA printer and it occurred to me to see whether I could smooth a 3D print by brushing the resin on, then curing it.

Formlabs, a 3D printing company, said on Wednesday it had doubled its valuation to $2 billion, following a $150 million funding round led by SoftBank Group's Vision Fund 2.

Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a mass-production-capable soft bot that is 3D-printed in a single piece which then walks off of the print bed. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...

Anker's debut 3D printer, the speedy AnkerMake M5, produces very high-quality prints and can even produce nifty time-lapse videos of a build with its built-in camera. Serious users will slaver ...

The deal would position Desktop Metal as a primary player in what it has deemed “additive manufacturing 2.0” — essentially a second wave in 3D printing innovation that could finally see the ...

Rosotics heats the feedstock with a magnetic field in the 3D printer nozzle. “You get the same end result without the laser in that process,” Christian LaRosa, Rosotics co-founder and CEO ...
