Enjoy great print quality but there’s a steeper learning curve than expected.

Three-dimensional printing was born in the 1980s, and, since then, the additive approach to manufacturing that it enables has gradually unseated traditional, subtractive concepts of industrial ...

While it’s the ideal choice for mass production, injection molding is simply no good for prototyping. The molds are expensive and time-consuming make, so unless you’ve got the funding to burn tens of ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...

Admittedly it’s a bit of a niche application, but if you need lots of flat 3D printed objects, one way to go about it is to print them in a stack and separate them somehow. An old(er) solution is to ...

The future of 3D printing includes multi-material design, and it just got a major upgrade. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have unveiled OpenVCAD, an open-source design tool that ...

Meshy's 3D Agent lets you turn a text prompt, photo, or sketch into a print-ready 3D model through conversation, no CAD ...

Researchers have developed a way to create complex devices with multiple materials -- including plastics, metals and semiconductors -- all with a single machine. The research outlines a novel 3D ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

Imagine being able to create custom vibrant, multi-colored 3D prints with the same ease as printing a single-color object. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this idea sparks excitement—but anyone ...
