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 ...

When it comes to 3D printing, speed is the ultimate metric, and one research team in China has their print speeds down to ...

A research group led by Professor Cheng Jian at Tsinghua University has 3D-printed a solid, millimetre-scale object in 0.6 ...

Although 3D printers can produce a wide variety of objects, the size of each item is limited by the size of the printer. Scientists have now developed a way of getting around that limitation, using a ...

Collaboration will create specialized materials tailor-made for composite-based additive manufacturing NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Impossible Objects today announced a joint development ...

3D printing service Sculpteo today announced a new iPhone app that you can use to design 3D objects, upload your designs to the cloud, and receive a ceramic object in the mail a few days later. The ...

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 ...

It's a frustrating limitation of 3D printing: Printed objects must be smaller than the machine making them. Huge machines are impractical for printing large parts because they take up too much space ...

D printing is gradually shifting from a specialist tool to something more accessible for everyday use. What was once largely ...

Starting your 3D printing journey can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into clear steps makes it approachable and fun. From designing in TinkerCAD to slicing in FlashPrint, every stage builds your ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...
