With 3D printing becoming such a growing industry in current times, you can bet that the explosive innovation is creating some amazing things. We’ve seen 3D printing used for a variety of things, like ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can produce a working electric motor in a single roughly three-hour print session using five different materials, with minimal post-processing.

Most consumers do not own a 3D printer, though perhaps one day that will change. For now, 3D printing at home remains a niche obsession, however the barriers of entry have started to come down with ...

On Monday, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have announced that they used 3D printing technology to create custom shock-absorbing “dampers,” or ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers ...

The two most common desktop-style 3D printers are FDM (for fused deposition modeling) and SLA (or stereo lithography). FDM printers lay down layer after layer of filament, resulting in objects that ...

How this 3D printer differs in technical approach and size from “conventional” units. How the laser beam is managed and steered to cure the unique resin. The results that were achieved using this ...

A 40-year-old invention that was always too hard to manufacture is now a real object, thanks to MIT researchers and modern 3D printing technology.
