Scientists at Caltech have figured out how to precisely engineer tiny three-dimensional (3D) metallic pieces with nanoscale ...

In the last few years, the use of 3D printing has exploded in medicine. Engineers and medical professionals now routinely 3D print prosthetic hands and surgical tools. But 3D printing has only just ...

If you custom-build your PCs and have a 3D printer, you can print these parts instead of buying them ...

3D printing is poised to redefine numerous industries and has the potential to significantly impact manufacturing processes. Today, Mercedes-Benz took another major step in the transformation of ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

The power of 3D printing has revolutionized not just commercial endeavors like Europe's largest 3D-printed building but also personal projects in your own home. With some know-how and plenty of resin ...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing involves creating an object from a computer-aided design model by fusing a material, such as metal or plastic, layer by layer. The technique is precise and repeatable, ...

Small hobby aircraft and light plastic parts go hand in hand, and a 3D printing pen makes lightweight plastic things without the overhead of CAD work and running a 3D printer. So could a 3D pen create ...

3D printing became a reality when Charles Hull patented his Stereolithography (SLA) printer back in 1986, which was capable of printing only acrylic-based 3D objects. However, 3D printing supports a ...
