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

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

If you are into 3D printing, there are many projects you can take on. Here are five kitchen gadgets you should add to your list.

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 ...

Multi-material 3D printing lets users fabricate customized objects with multiple colors and varied textures. Yet the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch ...

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.

Researchers developed a fully recyclable, lignin-based 3D printing ink that solidifies without heat, stays stable up to 200 C ...

A research team has used advanced 3D printing techniques to develop low-temperature, "sinterless" silica glass. They ...

A 3D design file defines a series of cross-sectional slices, which are then printed one on top of one other to create the 3D object. Objects can be printed in different materials from plastic to ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Though 3D printers are still too expensive to make their way across the globe into our homes next to our tablets and flat-screen TVs, the few lucky early adopters who got their hands on them have ...

If you wanted to 3D print an object that was magnetic in some areas only, you'd typically have to print two separate items out of different metals, then join them together. A new take on an existing ...
