Traditional desktop 3D printing technology has effectively hit a wall. The line between a $200 and a $1000 printer is blurrier now than ever before, and there’s a fairly prevalent argument in the ...

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.

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 ...

Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized 3D printers. Sabrina Corsetti, a PhD candidate at MIT, and her collaborators in ...

The process for producing triple-layer drug-delivery particles and materials for tissue regeneration could get easier, thanks ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team created low-cost electronic nozzles, called triaxial electrospray emitters, via vat photopolymerization.

3D printers are common today, and they can produce shape and color reasonably well. While shape and color are two of an object's three most noticeable visual features, the other is gloss. Current 3D ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a way to use plant cellulose as a feedstock for 3D printers, providing another renewable, biodegradable alternative to popular petroleum-based polymers like ABS ...

Three-dimensional printing was supposed to be the next big thing, but a combination of factors have kept it from becoming a mainstream technology. One of the ongoing issues is that 3D printing is slow ...
