AI models are designing new metal alloys that have been 3D-printed and tested in the lab. The results are then fed back into ...

A gray powder that looks like ash can become something closer to stone when hit with the right beam of light. Engineers have shown that simulated lunar soil can be melted and layered into solid shapes ...

The next frontier of desktop 3D printing is multi-material and multi-color prints. Right now, you can buy a dual toolhead for a Lulzbot, and dual toolheads from other companies exist, although they ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

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 printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printers which squirt out molten plastic layer by layer are by far the most popular type in general use. Most machines extrude plastic through a nozzle above print ...

Three-dimensional printing technology has been pitched as a fix for America’s housing affordability crisis, promising faster ...

3D-printed guns have earned the nickname of “ghost guns”, as they are difficult to trace through standard firearms analysis. With law enforcement struggling to trace the source of seized ghost guns, ...

3D Systems on Monday is rolling out its latest multi-material 3D printer, a range of new software and new Stereolithography (SLA) materials. Unveiled at the RAPID + TCT 2017 trade show in Pittsburgh, ...
