A good 3D printer no longer needs to cost a fortune to support multicolor printing. Here, we've picked five affordable options you should consider.

Admittedly it’s a bit of a niche application, but if you need lots of flat 3D printed objects, one way to go about it is to print them in a stack and separate them somehow. An old(er) solution is to ...

Structural materials are used extensively in nature where mechanical function is required. These structures are composites consisting of soft and, in some cases, hard phases precisely distributed over ...

What are the challenges and applications for this emergent technology in additive manufacturing? Ramsey Stevens, CEO of nano3Dprint, offers his take on the topic. Multi-material 3D printing enables ...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers have evolved from a time sink gimmick to sophisticated additive manufacturing equipment that sits on a user's desk. There's no longer a need for multiple ...

A new 3D printer capable of manufacturing objects with up to ten materials at once has been unveiled. MIT's (apparently very busy) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) ...

(Nanowerk News) Charles Wade, a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, has created a design system software package that uses functions and code to ...

Currently, VPP has progressed from merely an industrial prototyping method to a pivotal tool for producing parts of production quality. For example, the advent of CLIP has significantly enabled the ...

Objet Geometries Ltd. (www.2objet.com), a manufacturer of ultrathin layer photopolymer jetting, has introduced its Connex500 3D Printing System and PolyJet Matrix ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

There is that euphoric and exciting feeling you get when you buy your first 3D printer, but the real deal comes in when you need to choose the right machine that can print in more than one color. Here ...
