Making a very simple prosthetic arm can cost $1,000 for the materials alone. But 3D scanning and printing can shrink the cost to as little as $4. In Guatemala, where some families might earn $50 in a ...

Jumping into 3D printing feels like unlocking a new creative superpower. You can design something on the screen, hit print, and hours later, you hold the physical object in your hands. Even though it ...

BOAT BUILDING is a long-winded and tedious business, even when what is going down the slipway is a small craft made from modern materials such as fibreglass, rather than something nailed together out ...

You can print a lot of things with a 3D printer. A gun, a home, a dinner. Soon, you could even print new pieces of yourself. While most uses of 3D printing involve extruding layers of plastic through ...

Lithium batteries are at the heart of electric cars, phones, wearable electronics, energy storage, and so much more powering our increasingly digital and cord-free lives. It's no wonder they are big ...

The University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a chemical process that could revolutionize light-driven 3D printing. The University of Texas at Austin Vat photopolymerization, a powerful ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

What if the next leap in technology wasn’t happening in your pocket or on your desk, but in your workshop? Imagine a world where 3D printers no longer struggle with uneven layers, wasted materials, or ...
