As the patents for fused-filament 3D printers began to expire back in 2013, hackers and makers across the globe started making 3D objects in their garages, workshops and hackerspaces. Entire ...

In recent years, 3D printing has advanced rapidly. However, the technology has been trapped ...

3D printers are great for hobbyists and companies building concept models, but they have several drawbacks. While you can build objects in all shapes and sizes, they are typically limited to only one ...

Irish company Mcor's unique paper-based 3D printers make some very compelling arguments. For starters, instead of expensive plastics, they build objects out of cut-and-glued sheets of standard 80 GSM ...

NORWALK, Conn. — August 31, 2016 — The innovative architecture of tiny, stainless steel nozzles inside the new Xerox Direct to Object Inkjet Printer has created a new, label-less, on-demand method of ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric ...

Chinese researchers have set a new benchmark in volumetric 3D printing, reporting that they can print a millimeter-scale object in just 0.6 seconds while maintaining fine structural detail. According ...

We're used to 3D-printed objects being hard and unyielding, or perhaps a little rubbery. Thanks to work being done by scientists at Disney Research and Carnegie Mellon University, however, we may soon ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

After a series of calibration tests, the first 3-D printer to fly to outer space has manufactured its first potentially useful object on the International Space Station: a replacement faceplate for ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...
